King and Prince Names Starting With A

Acker is a surname name that has not seen much use to date, but given it's lush nature meaning (and the fact that it also means "friend" in Somerset slang) this could be a cute choice for parents looking for something fresh. An added bonus its link to English "Master of the Clarinet" Acker Bilk. The Dutch version, Akker, is also an option.

Acre feels at home with other modern, fresh word names like Rumor, Snow and Ace. But with the feeling of wide open spaces and nature, Acre also offers a softer, earthier tone that will appeal to those seeking a unique name with a distinctly Americana feel.

A hyperkinetic name, might be more kid-friendly without the second a.

This name's buttoned-up British vibe is what makes it cool - that, and the fact that it was chosen by Anne Bronte as her pseudonym - Acton Bell. That's quite the literary - and may we add feminist - credential for a name. For those with an adventurous edge, Acton is one of the highest peaks in Antarctica.

Names ending in -iel or -ael are very much in for boys, with Azrael, Aziel, Gabriel, Rafael, and Jasiel in the US charts. Adael is another to add into the mix. An option for those who like Adam but want something with more of a twist, Adael is derived from Adiel or Adaiah, meaning "ornament or adornment of God".

Given to just 21 boys in 2022, Adael had a huge leap in popularity in 2023 when it was given to 151 boys.

The literal meaning of Adagio is 'at ease.' Adagio's use for a slow musical passage or ballet is contradicted by its lively sound and feel.

Adaiah is a rare Old Testament name with a pleasing sound.

Adair has flair, the grace of a Fred Astaire. It's a Scottish surname which came from the first name Edgar.
