One Syllable Names for Boys

Nap is an uncommon masculine name that can function as both a standalone name and a nickname. It may originate as a shortened form of Napoleon, the name of the famous French emperor, which derives from Italian elements possibly meaning 'from Naples.' Alternatively, it could be a nickname based on the English word for a short sleep. Nap has never been widely used as a given name in English-speaking countries, remaining a rare choice throughout recorded naming history. The name's brevity gives it a punchy, informal quality that might appeal to parents seeking something uniquely concise. Its unusual nature means a person named Nap would likely face both curiosity about their name and occasional word-related jokes.
