Boys

  1. Jarvis

    • Origin:

      English variation of Gervase, meaning unknown

    • Description:

      Jarvis, one of the original two-syllable nouveau boys' choices, is a saint's name with a certain retro charm and a nice quirky feel. Though Jarvis peaked in the late 1880s, he is beginning to sound fresh again.

      Variation of Elliot, English diminutive of Elias

      "Yahweh is God"

      Sleekened spelling.

      French from German

      "noble, ready for battle"

      German, Scandinavian, and Finnish form of Mark

      Fervent fans of The Catcher in the Rye might want to consider this as a literary tribute. More mainstream alternative: Holden.
