Boy names IV.

  1. Schuyler

    • Origin:

      Dutch

    • Meaning:

      "scholar"

    • Description:

      This worthy name, imported by the early Dutch colonists, has been all but overpowered by the phonetic spellings -- Skyler for boys and Skylar for girls. With the surnames-as-first-names trend, however, and the popularity of the Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical Hamilton, which features the Schuyler sisters, perhaps Schuyler might receive some more interest in the coming years.
  2. Caio

    • Origin:

      Variation of Latin Caius

    • Meaning:

      "rejoice"

    • Description:

      Joyful-sounding name that makes a really original option.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

  5. Dmitri

    • Origin:

      Russian from Greek Demetrius

    • Description:

      Worldly, artistic and attractive Slavic version of the name of the Greek god of fertility and farming.
  6. Pyotr

      Russian variation of Peter

    • Description:

      Place-name

    • Meaning:

      "valley"

    • Description:

      Aspen's sibling.
  8. 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".
