Latin Boy Names
535 namesBoy
Latin names come from the language of ancient Rome, and many of them reached English through the spread of the Roman Empire and the Latin-speaking church. Roman men often carried several names, including a family name and a personal nickname, and many modern names grew from these. Julian comes from the Roman family of the Julii, Anthony from the family name Antonius, and Adrian from a Roman name linked to the town of Hadria.
Many Latin boys' names carry clear meanings. Leo means lion, Dominic means of the Lord, Justin comes from a word meaning just or fair, and Austin is a medieval English short form of a Latin name meaning venerable. Lucas and Luke are often linked to a word for light, though they may also refer to the region of Lucania. Christian comes from a Latin word meaning follower of Christ. Lincoln, now a popular first name, comes from the English city whose Roman name combined a local element with the Latin word for a colony.
Latin names often feel classic and dignified, and many have been in use for centuries. They also tend to have familiar forms across European languages, which can be useful for families with international ties. If you like names with history and meaning, Latin boys' names offer plenty of timeless choices.
