Bader
About Bader
A German occupational surname deriving from the German word Bad, meaning "bath". Its most famous bearer in recent years has been (the notorious) RBG – former Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, making this a great feminist name or a nod to a lawyer in the family. Its simple, dynamic, er-ending sound fits right in with the likes of Hunter, Carter and Baker.
Bader also has a separate derivation from Arabic, where it means "full moon" and is also transcribed as Badr or Badar.
Pronounced BAH-der.
As of October 2026, Bader ranked #10850 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #4252 in 1991.
