    • Description:

      Cadel is a masculine name with Celtic and Welsh origins. Derived from the Welsh word 'cad' meaning 'battle,' it conveys strength and warrior-like qualities. Historically, it has connections to the surname Cadell, borne by Welsh rulers and nobility. The name gained modern recognition through Australian cyclist Cadel Evans, who won the Tour de France in 2011. While not among the most common names, Cadel offers an appealing combination of distinctive sound and historical depth. Its pronunciation (typically KAY-del or kuh-DEL) and relatively uncommon usage make it an attractive choice for parents seeking a strong, unique name with ancient roots.

  8. Cadell

    • Origin:

      Welsh

    • Meaning:

      "battle"

    • Description:

      Cadell is a surname that is unlikely to win many supporters, except perhaps from parents looking for an alternative to Caden. But while Cadell is more distinctive, that L ending is weaker and less appealing than Caden's strong N.
  9. Cadmos

    • Description:

      Cadmos is a masculine name from ancient Greek mythology, where Cadmus (the more common spelling) was the legendary founder of Thebes and bringer of the alphabet to Greece. The name possibly derives from Phoenician or Semitic roots meaning "eastern" or "from the east." In mythology, Cadmos slew a dragon and sowed its teeth in the ground, which grew into warriors. This rare name carries powerful associations with wisdom, civilization, and heroism. While virtually unknown in modern usage, Cadmos offers a distinctive ancient option for parents interested in mythological names that aren't as widely used as Apollo or Atlas. Its exotic sound and rich historical significance give it a timeless quality.

  10. Cadmus

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "one who excels"

    • Description:

      Cadmus is the name of the serpent-slaying hero of Greek mythology who also founded the city of Thebes and is credited with inventing the alphabet. Its ancient feel might appeal to modern parents — especially since Cadmus Peverell is a human Harry Potter character, one of the three original owners of the Deathly Hallows.

    • Origin:

      Welsh

    • Meaning:

      "battle"

    • Description:

      St Cadoc was an early Welsh churchman, who gave his name to several villages in Wales, and according to his Life knew King Arthur. Less popular than other C__C names like Cormac and Cedric, Cadoc would be an almost unique, but easy-to-pronouce choice.
  12. Cadogan

      Welsh

    • Meaning:

      "honor in battle"

    • Description:

      Irish

    • Meaning:

      "slender"

    • Description:

      Cael is the name of the angel of the zodiac sign of Cancer and also of a warrior of Irish mythology. Its ascendance to the Top 1000 over the past decade probably has to do with its similarity to Cale and Kale (and Kyle and Cayden etcetera).
  15. Caelum

    • Origin:

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      "heaven"

    • Description:

      A constellation name that could have broad appeal beyond astronomers and astrophysicists, Caelum blends the sounds of Scottish Callum and modern Caden. It comes from the Latin caelum meaning "heaven, sky", giving it a subtle spiritual air and linking it to the names Celia, Cielo, and Ciel.
  16. Caen

    • Description:

      Caen is a masculine name derived from the Norman city in northwestern France, known for its historical significance including its role in the Battle of Normandy during World War II. The name has Celtic origins, possibly meaning 'battlefield' or relating to the ancient settlement. As a personal name, Caen offers a sophisticated European flair with a simple, strong one-syllable pronunciation (similar to 'can' or sometimes 'kahn'). While relatively uncommon as a first name internationally, it has appeal for parents seeking names with historical or geographical significance. The name carries an understated elegance and cultural depth, particularly attractive to those with French heritage or connection to Normandy. Its brevity and straightforward spelling make it accessible despite its uncommon usage.
  17. Cahane

    • Description:

      Cahane is an uncommon masculine name with possible Irish or Hebrew origins. If derived from Irish, it may be related to the surname Cahane or O'Cahane, which comes from the Gaelic "Ó Catháin" meaning "descendant of Cathán" (a diminutive of "cath" meaning "battle"). Alternatively, it could have Hebrew connections, possibly related to "kohen" meaning "priest." The name remains quite rare globally, giving it a distinctive quality for those who bear it. Its unique sound combines strength and softness, making it memorable while maintaining masculinity. Cahane may appeal to parents seeking a name with potential historical roots but little current usage.
  18. Cahir

    • Origin:

      Irish

    • Meaning:

      "battle man"

    • Description:

      Cahir along with its traditional spelling Cathair is well-used in modern Ireland. Now it's finding a wider audience thanks to The Witcher , though Cahir is the main villain of the series. It was in the US charts from 2017 to 2020, but fewer than 5 baby boys were named Cahir in the US in 2021, suggesting that the effect on parents was short-lived.
  19. Cahner

    • Description:

      Cahner is a masculine name that appears to be a modern variation of Connor or a creative spelling of the surname Conner. With Irish linguistic influences, this name carries the same appealing qualities as its more common counterparts while offering a distinctive spelling. The original Connor derives from the Irish 'Conchobhar,' meaning 'lover of hounds' or 'wolf lover.' Cahner emerged in the early 21st century amid growing interest in Irish names and unique spellings. While extremely rare compared to Connor (which has enjoyed top 100 popularity for decades), Cahner provides the same strong consonant sounds and Irish heritage with added uniqueness. The name fits well with contemporary naming trends favoring surnames and traditional names with modern spelling twists.
  20. Cainen

    • Description:

      Cainen is a modern masculine name with several possible origins. It may be a variant spelling of Canaan, the biblical land of milk and honey, or a creative variation of the more common Cain or Kenan. Some see it as a blend of Cain and Aiden, combining traditional roots with contemporary sounds. The name has a strong, masculine feel while maintaining a certain softness through its flowing pronunciation. Cainen remains relatively uncommon, giving boys with this name a sense of individuality. The distinctive spelling with the 'en' ending follows popular naming trends while setting it apart from more common choices. Its biblical connections may appeal to religious families, while its modern sound attracts those seeking something contemporary yet substantial.
