Knowledge Origin and Meaning
The name Knowledge is a boy's name of English origin meaning "information, understanding, and awareness gained through experience or education".
Knowledge is a word name that's surprising popular in the US, where a recent year saw it given to 184 boys. And if Maverick, Legend, and Justice can be popular baby names, why not Knowledge? It's an important quality for any child to possess, via their name as well as their brain, and you can have all kinds of knowledgeability, in the classroom or the great outdoors, emotionally or spiritually and beyond.
It may feel like a heavy name to wear, however, though nicknames Nol or Ned might help to ground it.
