Oeberon Origin and Meaning

The name Oeberon is a boy's name.

Oeberon is an uncommon masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Oberon, the mythical King of the Fairies in medieval and Renaissance literature, most famously appearing in Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.' The name's origins trace back to Germanic elements, possibly related to 'alb' (elf) combined with 'rix' (king). This particular spelling variant with the added 'e' is extremely rare. Oberon itself has never been common as a given name, but carries powerful literary associations with magic, nobility, and otherworldly charm. The unusual spelling Oeberon further distinguishes an already uncommon name, appealing to parents drawn to names with mythological significance, literary connections, and distinctive character. Its rarity ensures individuality while its connections to fairy lore give it a magical, ethereal quality.
