Eisenhower

Eisenhower is derived from Eisenhauer, a German surname composed of the elements eisen, meaning "iron," and hauer, "hewer." In modern English, that translates to "iron cutter." It's best known as the surname of President Dwight D., "Ike" Eisenhower, making Ike an appropriate nickname (and you might need one, with a name this stately!)

Yes, Eisenhower is a big name for a little guy, although we know of at least one Baby Berry with the name. The more compact Eisen is seen more frequently as a given name.

Pronounced Y-zun-how-ur.

As of October 2026, Eisenhower ranked #3883 in US births in 1952 SSA.
