EnglishMeaning:
"from the southern homestead"Description:
Swanky sound via New York's ritzy Sutton Place. It fits with current popular boys’ names, due to its two syllables and -on ending. It debuted in the US Top 1000 for boys in 2015, though it is currently more popular for girls.

Actor Coby Bell gives this short but sweet name a hefty amount of street cred. Can also be spelled Koby or Kobe, as in Kobe Bryant.

- Kiah
Origin:
Short form of Hezekiah, HebrewMeaning:
"God gives strength"Description:
Drawn from old record books, Kiah is an antiquated nickname that feels perfectly appropriate for modern times -- maybe more so than father name Hezekiah.
- Logon
Description:
Logon is an uncommon masculine name that may have originated as a variant spelling of Logan, a Scottish surname meaning 'little hollow.' This distinctive spelling gives the traditional name a modern, technical edge, perhaps unconsciously evoking computer terminology (as in 'log on'). The name has a strong, concise quality with its two syllables and straightforward pronunciation. While the Logan spelling has enjoyed significant popularity in English-speaking countries since the 1970s, the Logon variant remains quite rare, offering familiarity in sound but uniqueness in presentation. The name projects strength and simplicity while its unusual spelling adds a contemporary twist to the traditional Scottish name.
- Asten
Description:
Asten is a masculine name with several possible origins. It may derive from Old English elements, potentially related to names like Austin or Austen, or have Germanic roots connecting to eastern locations. The name could also be a modern variation of Aston, which was originally an English place name and surname meaning 'eastern town.' Asten has remained relatively uncommon throughout recorded naming history, giving it a distinctive quality. The name has a strong, concise sound with contemporary appeal despite possible ancient origins. Its simplicity makes it accessible across cultural boundaries while maintaining uniqueness. Parents might choose Asten for its clean, modern sound combined with subtle historical connections.
