Boy Names

  1. Celian
    • Gianni
      • Origin:

        Italian, diminutive of Giovanni, variation of John
      • Meaning:

        "God is gracious"
      • Description:

        Gianni, the Italian equivalent of Johnny, sounds more substantial and fresh. Like many names starting with "Gian", it is on a rising trend (for both boys and girls, though it leans more male). TV star Jill Hennessey's son is named Gianni Mastropietro.

        Greek variation of Leo
      • Meaning:

        "lion"
      • Description:

        Currently overshadowed by the bright and lively Leo, Leon feels a slightly more serious, more quietly confident than its short and trending counterpart.
    • Lucien
      • Origin:

        French form of Lucian
      • Meaning:

        "light"
      • Description:

        Sophisticated Gallic version of Lucian, Lucien may appeal to parents attracted to this meaning over that of Lucas and Luke, which have a different root, and also looking for a more unusual choice.
