Hunter Origin and Meaning
The name Hunter is a boy's name of English origin meaning "one who hunts".
Hunter has been dropping a bit for the past few years but is still one of the leaders of a distinctive band of boys' names that combines macho imagery (Hunter, Austin, Harley) with a softened masculinity.
