2205 Graceful Boy Names That Start With G

Baby boy names that start with G highlight the history behind the letter. The origin of the letter G can be traced back to the third century BC when Spurius Carvilius Ruga added it to the Roman alphabet in place of the obsolete Z (1). In the Old Latin period, he created this letter as a variant of C, which was developed as the rounded form of the third Greek letter ‘gamma.’ The letter G was later adapted into English and pronounced as ‘gee.’ Furthermore, the letter has a soft sound, ‘dz’, when placed before the vowel sounds of i and e, and a hard sound, ‘g’, when preceding the vowel sounds of ‘a’ and ‘o’ or presented as a double consonant ‘gg.’ In words borrowed from French, this letter is pronounced with the ‘z’ sound.

These grammatical rules apply to most G-boy names that are popularly found. Boy names from G like Gabriel, meaning ‘God is my strong man’ and Grayson, meaning ‘son of the steward’ have been among the top 100 names in the US for over a decade. Other masculine G-names such as Giovanni, meaning ‘Yahweh is gracious,’ George, meaning ‘farmer,’ Grant, meaning ‘great,’ Gael meaning ‘speaker of Gaelic,’ and Graham, meaning ‘gravelly homestead’ have also been popular during this period (2). These names embody great qualities and may influence the individual to indulge in self-discovery and introspection. Delve into the following list to find more names from across the globe with similar meanings and origins.
