Woods Origin and Meaning

The name Woods is a boy's name meaning "one who lives by the woods; area covered in trees".

Woods is a nature name that is a cousin to the stylish Brooks and Forest, evoking the entire world of trees. Sometimes used as a diminutive of Woodrow or Edward, Woods is rugged and outdoorsy, with a preppy surname-style feel too.

One caution: teenage boys in the English-speaking world probably won't appreciate having the nickname Woody, or a Woods- related name in middle or high school. Although, with 80 boys given the name in a recent year, and this number set to rise, perhaps current colloquialisms will fall (at least slightly) out of use in the future.
