Boothe Origin and Meaning

The name Boothe is a boy's name.

Boothe is a masculine name that originated as an English surname referring to someone who lived in or near a small shelter or hut (a booth). As a first name, it carries a distinguished, somewhat aristocratic quality while remaining uncommon. The name has a strong, concise sound with the distinctive 'th' ending providing a sophisticated touch. Boothe has historical connections to theater through the famous Booth family of actors. While never widely popular as a first name, Boothe occasionally appears in naming records, particularly in families using maternal surnames as first names. It offers a dignified alternative to more common B-names like Brian or Bradley, with its single-syllable structure providing simplicity despite the unusual spelling.
