Boy names IV.

  1. Finnley

    • Origin:

      Spelling variation of Finley, Irish and Scottish

    • Meaning:

      "fair-haired hero"

    • Description:

      This variation adds a second n to the more popular Finley, presumably to provide a more direct link to nickname Finn. Both spellings create a distinctly unisex name. The Finnley version, however, entered the US Top 1000 for boys in 2014, and it remains unranked for girls.
  2. Caio

    • Origin:

      Variation of Latin Caius

    • Meaning:

      "rejoice"

    • Description:

      Joyful-sounding name that makes a really original option.
  3. Channing

    • Origin:

      English or Irish

    • Meaning:

      "people of Cana or wolf cub"

    • Description:

      Channing is a sophisticated surname name whose use is probably linked to actor Channing Tatum and Channing Crowder, former linebacker for the Miami Dolphins.
  4. Arjen

    • Origin:

      Dutch variation of Arian, or Adrian

    • Meaning:

      "noble, honorable; man of Adria"

    • Description:

      Arjen is a Dutch name, sometimes viewed as a contracted form of Adrian, or as a variation of Ariën. Ariën itself is an alternative spelling of the Indo-Iranian Aryan and Arian, and was likely inspired by French Adrien; whichever root you take then, the name is associated with the meanings "man of Adria" and "noble, honorable".
  5. Jakob

    • Origin:

      German, Norwegian, and Slovenian variation of Jacob, Hebrew variation of James

    • Meaning:

      "supplanter"

    • Description:

      After cracking the US Top 200 in the early 2000s, fueled by Jacob's rise, this name has been losing steam in recent years. But Jakob is the top form of the name in many other countries, cultures, and languages, ranking highly in Germany, Norway, Austria, Iceland, and Slovenia. Jakub is the Polish variation.
  6. Tadeas

    • Description:

      Tadeas is a masculine name of Czech and Slovak origin, serving as a Central European variant of Thaddeus. The name ultimately derives from the Aramaic name Thaddai, which may mean 'courageous heart' or 'gift of God.' In biblical tradition, Thaddeus was one of the Twelve Apostles. The Tadeas spelling is particularly common in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, where it has remained a traditional choice. The name combines classical heritage with a distinctive Slavic character through its spelling. While less familiar in English-speaking countries, Tadeas offers parents seeking international names an option with both historical depth and a fresh sound. The name's strong consonants balanced with soft vowels create a melodic yet masculine impression.
