Crash Origin and Meaning

The name Crash is a boy's name meaning "colliding violently; sudden loud sound".

Crash is a particularly calamitous entry in the badass boys' name category, taking Wilder and Maverick one -- or maybe a dozen -- steps further. But we can think of at least a dozen reasons you shouldn't name your baby Crash: crash test dummies, car crashes, economic crash, crashing out, just to name a few

If you do enjoy the bold, confident edge of Crash, you could always use it as a nickname. Cassian, Cassius, Christopher, Casper, Charles, Cashton, or Caspian might work, for example.

British people of a certain age may associate this with the character Crash from the CCBC show, Tracy Beaker, though more recently, influencers Julia and Hunt Havens chose Crash Coyote for the son in 2025.
