About Wyatt
Wyatt has been hot, which is to say cool, for several years now. With its easy Wyatt Earpish cowboy charm, it's relaxed but still highly respectable.
Wyatt for boys#38 US
Wyatt is a lot more classic a name than you might guess. It's one of those names that just misses ranking in the Top 1000 for its entire 140+ year history.
Wyatt was derived from the Medieval English name Wyot, itself a form of the given name Wigheard, with wig meaning "war" and heard, "brave." Wyot, along with variations Wiot and Gyot, were also used by the Normans as nicknames for names such as William. Wyatt became a patronymic surname later in the Middle Ages.
Wyatt got one of it first modern pushes when Peter Fonda played a Wyatt in the seminal film "Easy Rider. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell were among the first celebs to use Wyatt for their son born in 1986; more recently, singer Sheryl Crow chose it for her baby boy. Wyatt is also the name of the alter ego of a central character on the HBO show Westworld.
And even more recently, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher used the name for their baby daughter, perhaps pushing the name across the gender line, though it has a long way to go before it's considered unisex; it's still much more popular for boys than it is for girls. Does the baby name world have Wyette in its future?
Wyatt is also enjoying a wave of current popularity in Canada.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher named their daughter Wyatt in 2014, making it a viable option for girls, and more recently NFL player Jason Kelce and podcaster Kylie Kelce used it for their older daughter.
Last year, 80 baby girls were named Wyatt, which makes it rare but not unknown. But that's compared with over 6000 baby boys, so it doesn't come close to our ten percent standard for making a name officially gender-neutral.
Pronounced WY-ut.
