Southern, western inspired. Classic, historical, and timeless. Husband approved. I like strong and single or double syllable names.
- Callan
Origin:
GaelicMeaning:
"descendent of Cathalan; descendent of the battle ruler"Description:
This anglicized form of the Irish surname Ó Cathaláin links back to the Irish given name, Cathal. Similar to Callum, Caleb, and Calvin, it might feel more usable outside of Ireland and Scotland than its origin name.
- Merritt
Origin:
English surnameMeaning:
"boundary gate"Description:
Merritt is an old-style surname name that could be seen as a positive virtue name. It was used in the late 19th and early 20th century for boys, reaching the Top 400 in 1899, and is notable today for being one of the names most evenly divided between boys and girls. Emmy winner Merritt Wever helped popularize it for girls.
