5000+ Boy Names That End in N

  1. London
    • Origin:

      Place-name
    • Description:

      In the US, London is popular for both sexes, though as the name rises for girls, it's levelled off for boys. Of course, London is far less popular in the UK and other English-speaking countries.
  2. Fenn
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "wetland, marsh"
    • Description:

      A fen is an English marshland, and Fenn came into use as a habitational surname for a person who dwelt near one. Now, it's a rarely used first name too, a handsome alternative to Finn.
  3. Beauden
    • Origin:

      Variation of Boden, English, German
    • Meaning:

      "hill shaped like a bow; floor"
    • Description:

      This creative spelling of Boden may be influenced by the popularity of Beau or New Zealand rugby player Beauden Barrett. Either way, we predict it's going to rise in popularity for years to come.
  4. Egan
    • Origin:

      Variation of Aidan, Irish
    • Meaning:

      "little fire"
    • Description:

      Egan's likeness to the word eager gives this Irish surname a ready-to-please, effervescent energy, and it would make an appropriate substitute for the overused Aidan.
  5. Alton
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "dweller at the old town"
    • Description:

      The sort of formal surname name more popular in another era; Dalton's a more modern relation.
  6. Maxen
    • Origin:

      Welsh, from Latin Maximus
    • Description:

      Also spelled Macsen, this ancient name manages to sound modern and cool. An heroic namesake was Maxen Wledig, a fourth century Spanish-born general who led the Roman army out of Britain, and as Emperor was the most powerful occupant of the throne of the Caesars who had ever ruled Europe from the City of the Seven Hills.
  7. Heron
    • Origin:

      Nature name or Greek
    • Meaning:

      "hero"
    • Description:

      Heron may feel like a very usable nature name -- the heron is a long-legged wading bird -- but it was also the name of a 1st century Greek inventor and of an Egyptian saint. Highly unusual yet easy to understand and meaningful on several levels, Heron is a fantastic choice.
  8. Alain
    • Origin:

      French, variation of Alan
    • Description:

      Alain gives the midcentury Alan a bit of gallic dash.
  9. Struan

      Gaelic
    • Meaning:

      "stream"
    • Description:

      A strong, eminently usable which is currently highly fashionable in its native Scotland, but little known elsewhere. With its cool two-syllable, n-ending shape and attractive nature meaning, Struan is a fresh Scottish name that feels ripe for import.
  10. Rhydian
    • Origin:

      Welsh
    • Meaning:

      "unknown"
    • Description:

  13. Reign
    • Origin:

      English word name
    • Meaning:

      "rule"
    • Description:

      Reign is one of a new, ahem, kingdom of word names that suggest a high-born child, joining Royal, Lorde, Titan, Saint, King, Princess, and Noble. We predicted this kind of defining name to be the Number 1 baby name trend of 2015...two weeks before Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick named their third child, a boy, Reign.
  14. Bronson
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "son of brown-haired one"
    • Description:

      This surname has a modern yet old New England feel, perhaps because of the association with the transcendental teacher and reformer Bronson (born Amos Bronson) Alcott, father of Louisa May. (One-time sitcom star Bronson Pinchot's full name is Bronson Alcott Pinchot.) A more muscular image comes via tough guy Charles Bronson.
  15. Miran

    • Meaning:

      "peace, world; prince; to sing + light"

      English
    • Meaning:

      "valley of the Welsh"

  17. Espen
    • Origin:

      Scandinavian
    • Meaning:

      "god bear"
    • Description:

      Strong and unusual Scandinavian name, but with two possible pitfalls: people might mis-hear it as Aspen, or associate it with sports network ESPN. Variants include Esper and Esben.
  18. Bran
    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Brandon
    • Meaning:

      "broom-covered hill"
    • Description:

  19. Bryn
    • Origin:

      Welsh
    • Meaning:

      "hill"
    • Description:

      The simple and attractive Bryn is well used for boys in Wales, and does have a history as a male name in the US, although both Bryn and Brynn are currently far more popular for girls.
  20. Javin
    • Origin:

      Hebrew or Hindu
    • Meaning:

      "Greece or swift, fast"

Javin is also a Hindu or Indian name meaning fast or switft. Many might pronounce Javan, Javin, and Javon as ja-VAHN and Javin as a cousin of Kevin, but it's really up to you.
