Short and cool with rugged charm, Wes is a rising star in the US, climbing the charts along side Wesley and Weston and joining other one syllable options such as Mack, Jett, Tate, and Brooks. Filmmakers Wes Anderson and Wes Craven lend the name a stylish and creative air, but it also has Old Western undertones thanks to its literal meaning, "west".
<br></br>
Used quietly since the 1880s at least, Wes had a spike of popularity in the mid-20th-century, perhaps owing to jazz musician, Wes Montgomery. By the 70s, it was out of style, but the 2010s saw a revival of Wes, and over the last decade, it has almost tripled in use.

Given to around 310 boys in the US in 2023, it is also in the Top 500 in the Netherlands.
