Sire

Meaning of Sire

Pronounced “SIGH-er,” Sire strolls in with a miniature crown tucked into his diaper bag—an Old French title of respect that once addressed kings and noble lords, born from the Latin root for “elder.” The name still carries that subtle regal shimmer, suggesting leadership, dignity, and the kind of calm authority that can quiet a room—or, someday, maybe a boardroom. Yet Sire isn’t all pomp and circumstance; in horse-loving circles the word playfully nods to a proud stallion fathering a sleek new generation, adding a dash of down-to-earth vitality to its royal polish. Stateside parents have clearly felt the charm: over the past two decades the name has cantered steadily upward in the baby-name ranks, proving that modern families aren’t afraid to embrace a little medieval flair. For a boy destined to stand tall, speak kindly, and make others feel like honored guests at his round table, Sire offers a noble start with a wink of worldly wit.
