About March
Along with August, March is one of the month names perfectly suited to boys. This brisk single-syllable name – which derives from the name of Mars, the Roman god of war – is worth considering as either a first or middle option. As a surname, it brings warm memories of the girls of Little Women, and of twentieth century actor Fredric.
Pronounced MARCH.
As of October 2026, March ranked #8742 in US births in 1989 SSA, peaked at #1431 in 1900.
