Falcon
Meaning of Falcon
Falcon is a masculine name of late Latin origin, derived from the Old French falcon—originally denoting the bird prized in medieval falconry for its speed, keen eyesight, and disciplined flight. In both English (pronounced FAL-kuhn) and Spanish (FAHL-kon), it retains clear, easily articulated syllables that travel well across languages. Ranked 904th in the United States with 20 occurrences in 2024, Falcon reflects a modest but steady rise among parents drawn to nature-inspired yet unconventional names. Contemporary associations—from the Marvel Comics hero known simply as Falcon to the SpaceX Falcon rocket family—lend the name a modern edge of ambition and resilience.
