Scout Origin and Meaning

The name Scout is a girl's name meaning "one who gathers information covertly".

Scout, a character nickname from To Kill a Mockingbird (her real name was Jean Louise), became a real-life possibility when Bruce Willis and Demi Moore used it for their now-grown middle daughter, followed by Tom Berenger a few years later. A unisex choice that is growing in popularity for both genders—but given to girls about four times more often than to boys—it was picked by skater Tai Babilonia for her son and Kerri Walsh for her daughter Scout Margery.

It makes a virtuous, upstanding choice for a girl—a good scout. Scout entered the US Top 1000 for the first time in 2018.
