Versailles

French place name

Versailles Origin and Meaning

The name Versailles is a boy's name of French origin.

A luxurious and dramatic sounding choice, Versailles is a French place name, best associated with the Palace of Versailles, home to King Louis XIV before the French Revolution. With its strong "EYE" end sound, it shares some of the appeal of Levi or Silas, but with the grandeur of names like Sir, Prince, King, and Valor.

Possibly meaning "to turn around" or "slope", though this is only speculation, the name entered the US stats for boys in 2024, when it was given to seven babies. It had previously only ranked for girls and is occasionally used as a French surname.
