Granite
Meaning of Granite
The name Granite, pronounced GRAN-ite (/ˈɡræn.ɪt/), is a strong and unique choice for a baby boy. Originating from the English word for the durable and visually striking natural stone, Granite conveys a sense of strength, resilience, and timeless beauty. This name also carries associations with nature and solidity, making it an appealing option for parents seeking a name that embodies steadfastness and reliability. Although not widely used, as evidenced by its sporadic appearance in the U.S. naming charts over the years—with occurrences peaking at 11 newborns in 2016—Granite remains an uncommon yet powerful choice. The variation "Granita" offers a slightly softer alternative while retaining the same sturdy connotations.
