Fawn

Nature name

"a young deer"

Fawn Origin and Meaning

The name Fawn is a girl's name meaning "a young deer".

The doe-eyed Fawn is as gentle and soft as the baby deer it represents. And much like that baby deer, it carries with it the potential of new life. Fawn was featured at the bottom of the Top 1000 throughout the '60s and '70s — around the same time that Bambi came into play. But unlike Bambi, Fawn maintains relevance in the 21st century, thanks to its warmth and ties to the natural world. We would love to meet more baby girls named Fawn.

Fawn would work as update to the now-dated Dawn, and is one of our favorite middle names for girls.
