I am the mother of two girls, but oddly enough, my husband and I only picked out boy names before we found out I was pregnant with our oldest daughter. Imagine our surprise when we had to come up with girl names after our first 20-week ultrasound!
Coincidentally, we ended up settling on names for both of our girls that are female forms of classic male names, Samuel and Charles. But if you are actually looking for boy names, you’ve come to the right place.
There are so many powerful baby boy names with various roots and interesting meanings to choose from if you are expecting a son! The strong boy names we’ve compiled below are African, Arabic, Chinese, Cornish, Dutch, Egyptian, English, Flemish, French, Gaelic, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Irish, Japanese, Latin, Norse, Romanian, Scandinavian, Scottish, Spanish, Swahili, and Turkish in origin.
You might like the Greek name Zale, which means “sea-strength,” or the Hebrew name Oz, meaning “strength.” You might choose the English name Montgomery, which means “mighty man,” or the Irish name Brian, which means “strong, virtuous, and honorable.” Or you might prefer the old German name Richard, which means “brave ruler.”
There is a great boy name (or two or three or four) on this list for just about everyone!
