diffrent names for boys, from the diffrent lists!
- Abilene
Origin:
English from HebrewMeaning:
"grass"Description:
New Testament, Texas, and Kansas place-name more fitting for a girl.
- Abram
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"father of multitudes"Description:
Abram was Abraham's original name in the Bible; it's more user-friendly but with a bit less gravitas. And it does offer that cool nickname Bram, as well as the friendly Abe. After some early American usage, in 1936 Abram completely disappeared for nearly forty years, until its return in the 1970s.
- Adam
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"son of the red earth"Description:
Adam -- a primal Old Testament name -- was revived as a 1960s cowboy name. Adam is not as popular as it once was and feels ready for a respite, replaced by newer A names like Aidan/Aiden, Avery and Axel. Its most prominent current bearers include Adams Sandler, Levine, Brody and Driver -- who plays a character named Adam on Girls.
- Alain
Origin:
French, variation of AlanDescription:
Alain gives the midcentury Alan a bit of gallic dash.
- Albern
Description:
Albern is a masculine name of Germanic origin, derived from the Old High German elements "adal" meaning "noble" and "bern" meaning "bear" or "warrior." This ancient name carries connotations of strength, nobility, and courage. Though rare in modern usage, Albern appears in historical records across German-speaking regions of Europe. The name may also be connected to the English name Alban, though with distinct etymological roots. Albern has a strong, distinguished sound that conveys traditional masculine qualities while remaining accessible in pronunciation. For contemporary parents, it offers an uncommon alternative to more popular Germanic names, appealing to those seeking names with historical depth and meaningful origins that stand apart from current trends.
- Alden
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"old, wise friend"Description:
Hot young actor Alden Ehrenreich, the new Han Solo, gives this formerly-stodgy surname name an attractive new image, making it a fresh successor to Aiden or Holden. Before it got this fresh shine, Alden was among the classic Thanksgiving baby names.
- Aldrich
Origin:
GermanicMeaning:
"old, wise ruler"Description:
In an era with so many created, modern names, Aldrich oozes history and substance. But it is also fit for modern times, given its surname-as-name status and the nickname potential (Al, Richie, etc).
- Alfred
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"wise counselor; elf counsel"Description:
Alfred is up off his recliner! If you're looking for a path to Fred, you can go directly to Frederick or take the long way around with the so-out-it's-in-again Alfred. Alfred is quite popular in several European countries, especially England and Wales, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
- Alphonse
Origin:
French from GermanMeaning:
"noble, ready for battle"Description:
Rarely used, and for good reason. Alonzo is a preferable choice.
- Alva
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"his highness"Description:
Edison's middle name is a fabulous option for parents looking for something with history and a soft sound. This could be the name you're looking for if you like Tesla's scientific pedigree but think that it has become too corporate with the advent of Elon Musk's company.
- Amon
Origin:
Hebrew, Arabic, Greek from EgyptianMeaning:
"the hidden one; invisible"Description:
In Egyptian mythology, Amon is a major god associated with creation and the air. He was later fused with the Sun god, Ra, and became Amun-Ra.
- Andreas

Spanish and EnglishMeaning:
"angel, messenger"Description:
As a boys' name, Angel has two distinct name personalities. One is as a perennial favorite Hispanic boys’ name, popular in the US along with Spain, Mexico, and South America.
- Angelo
Origin:
ItalianMeaning:
"angel, messenger"Description:
Old-school Italian name that could find new fans thanks to singer Adele, who chose it for her son after months of baby name mystery. Angelo is in the same name category as Rocco, the name of Madonna's son, and may get a fresh coat of cool.
- Ashton
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"ash trees place"Description:
The recent ascent of this English surname is due to two things: the megapopular Ash beginning and TV/movie hottie Ashton Kutcher. The name peaked at Number 76 in 2004, a year after Ashton Kutcher's (both Christopher Ashton) hit TV show Punk'd made its debut.
