Howl
Meaning of Howl
Howl carries a wild-hearted spirit straight from English roots—its very sound (/haʊl/) echoes the wolf’s soul-stirring call under a moonlit sky. At once bold and inviting, it conjures images of mist-shrouded forests and untamed freedom, yet it also wears a playful literary coat thanks to the charming wizard Howl from Diana Wynne Jones’s tale. Though still delightfully uncommon—14 little ones wore the name in 2024, nudging it up to rank 910 in the U.S.—it’s quietly catching on among parents who crave a name that feels both natural and a touch magical. With its crisp consonants and swooping vowel, Howl strikes the perfect balance between adventurous flair and everyday warmth, promising a story-rich life for any boy fortunate enough to bear it.
