Ranger Origin and Meaning

The name Ranger is a boy's name of French origin meaning "forest guardian".

The list of occupational boys' names continues to expand, and this is one of the latest to ride onto the range. And, as trends collide, it also has the popular western, cowboyish feel. A much better choice than the increasingly (and scarily) heard Danger.
