Names That Mean Stick

Distinctive though somewhat abrupt, most prominently borne by country singer Hoyt Axton.

Hoyt

This surname of an ancient Roman invader of Africa is an intriguing, undiscovered option. Derived from a Latin word meaning "staff" or "walking stick", it can be pronounced as SKEE-pee-o in Latin and as SKIP-ee-o or SIP-ee-o in English.

The name has been borne by a number of notable figures in black history, including lawyer, educator, and philanthropist Scipio Africanus Jones, artist Scipio Moorhead, baseball player Scipio Spinks, artisan and ex-slave Scipio Vaughn who inspired a "back to Africa" movement, encouraging his family and friends to connect with their African roots, and entrepreneur George John Scipio Africanus.

The name has not appeared in the US charts since the late 1940s, likely owing to the fact it was used by slave owners.
