Sibling for Bayard "Bay"

  1. Maple

    • Origin:

      English tree name from Latin

    • Meaning:

      "maple tree; tree of the Acer genus"

    • Description:

      Maple is one of those sweet-spot word names that sounds so almost name-like that it doesn't feel outlandish or strange, despite its relative newness as a given name. Just as Juniper is adjacent to June or Pippa, Clover like Chloe or Clara and Ember like Emma or Ebba, Maple is enough like Mabel, Maisie and Mae that it blends in well and has a touch of borrowed vintage charm.

      French variation of Margaret; also a flower name

    • Meaning:

      "pearl; daisy"

The name has never been exceedingly common but has maintained consistent, albeit limited, usage throughout the English-speaking world. Hilliard carries aristocratic associations in some contexts, perhaps due to its connection to notable families and its formal sound. The name peaked in popularity in the early 20th century and has since become less common, giving it a distinctive vintage quality.
