HORATIO  

Gender: M
Origin: English variation of HORACE

Like Horace, a variation on the Latin Horatius, but with its Shakespearean and optimistic Horatio Alger pedigree, this is an attractive up-and-comer with its cool final o. A modern reference is the TV character Horatio Caine played by David Caruso in CSI: Miami.
