The Farmer's Son

  1. Calhoun
    • Origin:

      Irish
    • Meaning:

      "from the narrow forest"
    • Description:

      A beaming, friendly Irish last-name-first-name waiting to be discovered, though anyone into American history might associate it with John C. Calhoun, a 19th century statesman who defended slavery. There are however plenty of places called Calhoun which might lessen that association.
  2. Clive
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "lives near a high cliff"
    • Description:

      Clive started life as a surname for someone who lived near a cliff, making it a secret outdoorsy name.
  3. Eldridge
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "old, wise leader"
    • Description:

      Name long associated with eloquent Black Panther activist Eldridge Cleaver and jazz great Roy Eldridge.
  4. Wiley
    • Origin:

      Scottish, German, English
    • Meaning:

      "resolute protection; from Wylye; clearing of willows"
    • Description:

      Wiley may be considered a variation of Wylie, a Scottish diminutive of strong, classic William. As such, it may work an appealing way to honor a Bill, Will, or William, or as an alternative to popular Liam.

      Alternatively, Wiley may be considered a surname-style name, ultimately derived from two English places: Willey (meaning "clearing of willows") or Wylye (the name of a river, meaning "tricky").
  5. Buckley
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "meadow of the deer"
    • Description:

      Mama's boy.
  6. Fielder
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "dweller in open country"
    • Description:

      An uncommon surname name with that energetic -er ending. Might appeal especially to baseball fans.
  7. Zebadiah
    • Origin:

      Hebrew
    • Meaning:

      "God has bestowed"
    • Description:

      Biblical names are expanding (literally) as some parents move on from Isaiah and Elijah to more elaborate choices with simple short forms like Jed and Zeb.
  8. Jesco
