      Diminutive of Cameron, Scottish

      "crooked nose"

      Hebrew

      "hewer; or, having a stump for a hand"

      Gideon is a no-longer neglected Old Testament name, but still makes an excellent choice for parents looking to move beyond such overused biblicals as Benjamin and Jacob.

      English

      "stag"
    • Description:

      Hart could be the hero of a romantic novel, but on the other hand, it's short, straightforward, and strong sounding.
