    • Origin:

      French

    • Meaning:

      "forest guardian"

      The range of occupational baby names is ever expanding, and Ranger is a recent addition to the list. It feels both natural—reminiscent of park rangers—and western and rugged, as in the Lone Ranger. If you're making a choice between Ranger and Danger, we suggest the less aggressive former. Plus, this one gives you the option of nicknames Rae, Rayne, and Rainey too, and ties to various sports teams and Dungeons and Dragons. Currently given to more than 100 boys in each recent year, it has yet to chart for girls, but this could change in the future.

As a feminine name, Kazmir is extremely rare, representing a gender-neutral adaptation of the traditional male name. This uncommon choice gives the name a distinctive, modern feel while maintaining its historical connections. Parents might choose this name for its strong sound and unique quality, though its rarity means most Kazmirs will likely need to explain their name's origins and pronunciation.
