650+ Boy Names Ending in T
- Xabat
Origin:
Basque variation of Salvador, SpanishMeaning:
"savior"Description:
The Basque form of Salvador starts with the intriguing letter X, which is pronounced like a "sh" sound in the Basque language. Xabat is a great Basque heritage choice, but we must note that it sounds almost identical to the word "Shabbat", the Jewish day of rest.
- Bat
Origin:
Short form of BartholomewDescription:
Bartholomew is one vintage name with Biblical antecedents that hasn't risen again in the modern world, perhaps because short form Bart, as in Simpson, would be too difficult for a contemporary boy to bear. But antique nickname Bat might work better. Might.
