2912 Classic And Modern English Unisex Names You’ll Treasure

The popularity of English unisex names has surged in recent years. Originating from England, English has evolved into the world's lingua franca. This language is known for borrowing words from Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, Hindi, and Arabic, thus giving rise to many meaningful English names (1). These names have a historical charm, bringing to mind knights, castles, and royalty. Dandy, Emeryth, and Harper are some examples of Old English classics that are quite popular among parents.

The English typically have one or more given names (first names) and a family name (last name). These given names are often chosen to honor significant figures, including prosperous local landowners, royalty, and, more commonly, grandparents and parents. A last name, on the other hand, is derived from a person's father's name, their occupation, or another relative. For example, Johnson means ‘John's son,’ which can be shortened to ‘Johns.’
