Icon Origin and Meaning

The name Icon is a boy's name meaning "a person admired for great influence or significance".

This English word name has become a piece of Gen Z lingo, often used to describe someone or something that has significant influence or notoriety — for instance, Beyoncé could be considered a musical icon. Maybe the parents of the 7 baby boys given this name in a recent year are hoping their sons will become icons in something.
