Infant

Infant Origin and Meaning

The name Infant is a boy's name.

Infant is an extremely unusual masculine name derived from the Latin 'infans,' meaning 'unable to speak' or 'young child.' Historically, the term has been used as a title for younger sons of noble families in some European cultures, particularly in Spain and Portugal where 'Infante' designated princes who were not heirs to the throne. As a given name, Infant is exceedingly rare and would likely be considered unconventional in most naming traditions. The name might reflect family traditions, cultural heritage, or simply parental preference for its literal meaning. Given its rarity and its common use as a noun in everyday language, those named Infant would likely face questions about their name throughout life.
