Poet Origin and Meaning

The name Poet is both a boy's name and a girl's name of English origin.

A recently entered name on the roster, Poet was used for her daughter by Soleil Moon (Punky Brewster) Frye, who obviously appreciates the advantages of an unusual name. This is a possible middle name choice for verse-loving parents who want to skip specifics like Auden or Poe or Keats or Tennyson and go with the generic.

Possible alternatives: Poetry, Poesie, Sonnet (used by Forest Whitaker)
