Male Names I Like From My Genealogy A-H

  1. Geoffrey

    • Origin:

      Anglo-Saxon from French

    • Meaning:

      "pledge of peace"

    • Description:

      In the US, this spelling is less common than mid-century favorite Jeffrey, and it has faded from popularity faster. This more British spelling is the usual form for historical figures like Geoffrey Chaucer and the Welsh historian Geoffrey of Monmouth, and as such it may feel more rooted and enduring.
  2. Berenger

    • Origin:

      German

    • Meaning:

      "warrior fighting with a spear"

    • Description:

      Last-name-first-name with a romantic but dangerous edge.
  3. Aimon

    • Description:

      Aimon is a masculine name with medieval European origins, likely a variant of Aymon or Haimon, which derive from Germanic elements meaning 'home' and 'protection' or 'strength.' Historically, it appears in medieval French literature through the tale of the Four Sons of Aymon, a popular chivalric romance. While uncommon in modern usage, Aimon carries an air of antiquity and nobility that appeals to parents seeking distinctive names with historical depth. The name's soft beginning and strong ending create a balanced sound that feels both gentle and masculine. Aimon may also appeal to those with French or Germanic heritage looking to connect with ancestral naming traditions while choosing something relatively unique in contemporary contexts.

  4. Fulk

    • Description:

      Fulk is a masculine name of Germanic origin that was once relatively common in medieval Europe, particularly after the Norman Conquest of England. It derives from the Germanic element "folk" meaning "people" or "army." The name was borne by several notable historical figures, including Fulk III, Count of Anjou, and Fulk, King of Jerusalem during the Crusades. Despite its historical significance, Fulk fell out of common usage by the late Middle Ages. Today, it remains exceedingly rare, possibly due to its somewhat stark sound in modern English and potential negative associations with similar-sounding words. For history enthusiasts seeking a genuinely medieval name, Fulk offers authentic historical roots.

  5. Aymer

    • Description:

      Aymer is a masculine name with medieval Norman origins, derived from the Germanic elements 'haim' (home) and 'heri' (army). It was introduced to England after the Norman Conquest and appears in historical records of nobility throughout medieval Europe. The name shares etymological roots with the more common Aimar, Aymer, and Aimery. Historically, it was borne by several nobles, including Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke in the 13th-14th centuries. Though rare in contemporary use, Aymer offers an intriguing alternative to popular names like Aiden or Archer, combining historical authenticity with an accessible sound. The name conveys medieval chivalric associations while remaining pronounceable for modern speakers. Its obscurity appeals to parents seeking an uncommon name with genuine historical roots rather than a modern invention.
