Boy Names That Start with D
373 namesBoy
D names for boys are anchored by two of the oldest names in use. David was the shepherd who became king of Israel in the Hebrew Bible, and Daniel was the prophet who survived the lions' den. Both have been used continuously across many languages and centuries, which makes them feel dependable rather than dated, and Dawson, a surname meaning son of David, carries a little of that history too.
The rest of the list spans a surprising range of cultures. Dylan is Welsh and appears as a figure connected with the sea in medieval Welsh tales. Declan comes from an early Irish saint, while Donovan grew from an Irish surname. Dominic comes from Latin and means belonging to the Lord, and Diego is a beloved Spanish name. Damian and Damien are two spellings of a Greek name often linked to the idea of taming, and Dante recalls the medieval Italian poet who wrote the Divine Comedy.
The d sound is crisp and clear, so these names tend to hold up well with most surnames. Consider how a name shortens, since Daniel, David and Dominic each have familiar short forms, while Dean and Drew are already compact. If you like Damian and Damien, choose the spelling you find easiest for teachers and relatives to remember.
