Troubadour Origin and Meaning

The name Troubadour is a boy's name meaning "lyric poet".

In medieval France, a troubadour was a knighted lyric poet who composed and sang songs about courtly love. As a baby name, Troubadour makes a romantic and stately choice for a child, although this bold choice may be better relegated as a middle name.

In modern times, a troubadour can also refer to a folk singer.
