North
Meaning of North
North (pronounced nawrth) is a crisp, unisex name borrowed straight from the English word for the cardinal direction, rooted in the Old English norð. It brings to mind the thrill of exploration, like a compass guiding you toward uncharted horizons. In Spanish and Portuguese, norte shares its bright sound, adding a touch of sabor latino. Parents pick North for its sense of freedom and bold spirit—imagine a child blazing trails like a north wind, fresh and unstoppable. Though still rare in the U.S.—ranked 917th in 2024 with just seven little Norths on the books—it’s steadily climbing, a rising star poised for adventure.
