Boy Names That Start with T
227 namesBoy
T names for boys begin with a sharp, clean sound that makes them easy to call across a playground. Thomas is the great classic, an Aramaic name meaning twin that belonged to one of the apostles. Timothy comes from Greek words meaning honoring God and appears in the letters of the New Testament. Theodore means gift of God in Greek, and Theo is its short, friendly form, now popular in its own right.
Several T names began as English occupational surnames. Tyler described a tile maker, Tanner a leatherworker, and Tucker someone who worked with cloth. Travis comes from a French word linked to a toll crossing, while Trevor is Welsh in origin, and Trenton, Tyson and Tate have English surname roots. Tristan is the tragic knight of a famous romance in Arthurian legend, and Troy recalls the ancient city at the heart of the Iliad. Thiago is a Portuguese name that is widely loved in Brazil and elsewhere.
Consider how formal you want the name to feel. Thomas, Theodore and Timothy offer familiar short forms, while Tate and Troy are brief and complete. If your surname starts with T, you will get strong alliteration, and if it ends with a t sound, the two names may blur together, so say them aloud before deciding.
