Truman's Brother

  1. Ellington

    • Origin:

      English place-name and surname

    • Meaning:

      "Ellis's town"

    • Description:

      Ellington is a swinging musical name, evoking the jazzy and elegant persona of the Duke (born Edward Kennedy Ellington). While that reference may seem to make Ellington a male name, it is also occasionally used for girls.
  2. Jefferson

    • Origin:

      English

    • Meaning:

      "son of Jeffrey"

    • Description:

      The name of the third U.S. President sounds, like Harrison and Jackson, more modern and stylish now than its root name. Used as a first name long before our surname-crazed era, Jefferson was most famously used as a first name by the President of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis, which may justifiably make you not want to use it. Jefferson is the middle name of another Prez, William Clinton.
  3. Branch

    • Origin:

      Word name

    • Description:

      Branch is an attractive name with associations both with trees and with branching out into brave new worlds. Baseball's Branch (born Wesley, with Branch as his middle name) Rickey broke the color barrier by hiring Jackie Robinson for the Dodgers. Like Leaf, Branch makes a nice, not-so-obvious, addition to the tree category.
  4. Pace

    • Origin:

      Word name

    • Description:

      Calm, straightforward, patrician sounding: Pace is one new-style name that's well-grounded.
  5. Leger

    • Description:

      Leger is a masculine name with French origins, derived from the Latin name Leodegarius, meaning 'people's spear' or 'light-bearing.' It gained prominence through Saint Leger (or Leodegar), a 7th-century bishop and martyr in France. Throughout history, the name has been more common in French-speaking regions and among families with French heritage. Leger has a sophisticated, elegant quality typical of French names while remaining relatively uncommon in modern usage. The name carries connotations of light, wisdom, and noble heritage. In North America, it sometimes appears as a surname that has transitioned to first-name usage, maintaining its distinctive French character.

  6. Galway

    • Origin:

      Place-name

    • Description:

      Associated with the poet and novelist Galway Kinnell, this name of an Irish city, county, and bay would make an evocative choice. For further literary cred, writers Liam O'Flaherty and Frank Harris both hail from Galway.
