    • Innes
      • Jackson

        • Origin:

          English

        • Meaning:

          "son of Jack"

        • Description:

          Jackson is one of those names that's much more popular than you think, coming in near the top of our annual Playground Analysis, which ranks names by grouping all their spellings together. Last year, more than 13,000 baby boys were named Jackson -- along Jaxon, Jaxson, Jaxxon, Jaxen, Jaxyn, Jaxsen, and Jaxsyn -- which counted together makes it the Number 5 boys' name.
      • Jervis

        • Description:

          Jervis is a masculine name with Germanic origins, being a variant form of Jarvis. The name ultimately derives from elements meaning "spear" and "warrior." Historically, it was more common as a surname, as in the notable British naval officer Sir John Jervis. As a first name, Jervis has never been widely popular but has maintained a steady, if minimal, usage over centuries. It has an aristocratic, somewhat old-world feel that distinguishes it from more common names. The name sounds similar to the more familiar Jarvis but with a softer pronunciation. Jervis might appeal to parents seeking a name with historical depth and a gentlemanly quality that remains uncommon.

          Johanna is the version of this name used in Holland, Germany, and Scandinavia. The extra h makes Johanna a slightly more dignified version of Joanna.

              • Description:

                Katherine is one of the oldest, most diverse, and all-around best names: it's powerful, feminine, royal, saintly, classic, popular, and adaptable. Long one of the top girls' names starting with K, Katherine has now been unseated on the popularity list by upstarts Kennedy and Kinsley, but a dip in popularity only adds to its charm.
