About Boone
Boone is one of the advancing herd of lean and lanky cowboy names with a laid-back, backwoods, Western feel—and surprising French roots. It's inevitably linked with legendary frontiersman Daniel, and also with the positive connotations of the word boon. It debuted in the US Top 1000 in 2015.
T. (for Thomas) Boone Pickens is a high-profile business magnate; Boone Carlyle was a fiery character on TV's Lost.
Boone is also given to girls.
Pronounced BOON.
As of October 2026, Boone ranked #423 in US births in 2025 SSA, Nameberry popularity #729.
