5000+ Three-Syllable Boy Names

  1. Servando

    • Description:

      Servando is a masculine name of Spanish and Italian origin derived from the Latin 'servandus,' meaning 'one who must be preserved' or 'worthy of being saved.' The name has historical significance through Saint Servandus, a Christian martyr from the 3rd century who was venerated particularly in Spain. Popular primarily in Spanish-speaking countries and communities, Servando carries traditional Catholic resonance while remaining relatively uncommon even within these regions. The name has a dignified, classical quality with its connection to Latin roots and religious history. In the United States, it appears mostly in families with Hispanic heritage who are preserving cultural naming traditions or honoring family members.

  3. Florizel

    • Origin:

      Shakespearean invented name, Latin

      "flower"

    • Description:

      Shakespeare seems to have coined this name for the Prince of Bohemia in his late tragicomedy The Winter's Tale by drawing inspiration from the Latin floris meaning "flower". It's rarely been used as a name in real life, but we think it has potential. The flowery sound will appeal to parents looking for less conventionally masculine boys names, but the "Z" gives it an edge and cool factor lacking in, say, Florian. Plus, the Shakespeare connection obviously gives it a lot of literary cred.
