Cane Origin and Meaning

The name Cane is a boy's name.

Cane is a masculine name with multiple possible origins. It may derive from the Old English word 'cane' referring to the plant or walking stick, or it could be a variant spelling of Kane, which has Irish origins meaning 'warrior' or 'tribute.' In some cases, it might also be an Anglicized form of the Italian surname Cani. The name has a strong, concise sound with just one syllable, giving it a modern appeal. While not traditionally common as a first name, Cane has seen occasional use in English-speaking countries, particularly in recent decades as parents seek distinctive, short names for boys. Its simplicity allows it to work well cross-culturally.
