What's in a male name? Although cultures around the world have different names for boys, many of them share the same meaning. The meaning of a male name is often related to strength or bravery, suitable for a leader or a warrior. Other meanings are related to people and places that feature prominently in a family's history or culture.
Religious male names are also popular in many parts of the world. Boys' names are often inherited from fathers, grandfathers, or the first or last name of another influential family member. In many languages, a male name may be chosen for its sound, rather than for its meaning.
Trends for male names include a mix of traditional boys' names, whose enduring usage can be traced back for centuries, and uncommon boys' names that spike in popularity as each new generation of parents seeks out novel names for their children.
