Francophile Naming Guide -- Curiousities of Medieval France for Boys

Guigues

An everyday name in France, a charismatic possibility elsewhere, Guillaume is a French form of the classic Germanic William. It's heyday was back in the 1980s and 90s, when it ranked in the French Top 10 and the Belgium and Quebec Top 20, though more recent years have seen it drop from the popularity charts.

Heribert is a masculine name of ancient Germanic origin, combining the elements 'heri' meaning 'army' and 'beraht' meaning 'bright' or 'famous,' thus translating to 'brilliant warrior' or 'famous soldier.' With roots stretching back to medieval Europe, Heribert was particularly common among nobility in Germany and surrounding regions. Several saints and notable historical figures have borne this distinguished name. While relatively uncommon in modern English-speaking countries, Heribert remains in use in Germanic regions, especially Germany and Austria. The name carries a dignified, traditional quality with its historical depth and strong consonants, appealing to parents seeking a name with authentic medieval European heritage and a serious, scholarly character.

Herluin

Hermann is a masculine name of Germanic origin meaning 'army man' or 'warrior,' derived from the elements 'heri' (army) and 'mann' (man). This powerful name has deep historical roots, most notably associated with Hermann (or Arminius), the Germanic chieftain who defeated Roman legions in the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9 CE. Popular throughout Germany, Switzerland, and Scandinavia, the name has been borne by notable figures such as author Hermann Hesse and physicist Hermann von Helmholtz. While its usage has declined in recent decades, it maintains a classic, strong character. In English-speaking countries, the simplified spelling 'Herman' is more common, though the double 'n' version preserves its authentic Germanic heritage.

Hermann

Hervé was a legendary French saint, patron of the blind, who performed many miracles -- it's a lot more sophisticated than the English Harvey.

Hugues is a masculine French name, the Gallic variant of Hugh, deriving from Germanic roots meaning 'heart,' 'mind,' or 'spirit.' Popular throughout medieval France among nobility and commoners alike, Hugues has maintained steady usage in French-speaking regions. The name carries an air of sophistication and classical European charm. Several notable bearers include French composers, politicians, and artists, adding to its cultural significance. While pronunciation (typically 'üg') may be challenging for English speakers, the name offers a distinguished alternative to the more common Hugh or Hugo. Hugues balances historical gravitas with a certain timeless elegance.

A name with two strong literary associations, one overwhelmingly negative -- Lolita's pedophilic narrator Humbert Humbert -- and one positive, in the preferable European version: Italian author Umberto Eco.

Humbert

Humphrey is an old name that might have faded completely were it not for that Bogie flair. A royal name in Britain, where it's used somewhat more frequently, Humphrey might just have some life beyond Bogart here, especially with the recent interest in the names of Golden Age Hollywood stars. His first name was the maiden name of his mother, Maud Humphrey, a well-known illustrator who used baby H. as a model.
 Humphrey was brought to England by the Normans and was made famous by Duke Humphrey, the fifteenth century Duke of Gloucester and youngest son of Henry IV, a noted patron of literature, who appears in Shakespeare's Henry IV. In other literature, Humphrey Wasp is a character in Ben Jonson's Bartholomew Fair, and the eponymous hero of Tobias Smollett's early novel Humphrey Clinker. In James Joyce's Finnegans Wake Humphrey Climpden Earwicker represents the everyman.
 Bottom line: An interesting name with a noirish edge.
