Stark
Meaning of Stark
The name Stark, pronounced as "stahrk" (/stɑːk/), is a strong and distinctive choice for a baby boy. Originating from the Old English word "stearc," meaning firm, unyielding, or severe, it carries connotations of strength and resilience. The name has gained modern associations through popular culture, most notably the character Tony Stark from Marvel's Iron Man series and the noble Stark family in George R.R. Martin's "Game of Thrones." Despite its powerful imagery and cultural connections, Stark remains relatively uncommon in the United States. It saw sporadic use throughout the 20th century and began to see a slight uptick in popularity in recent years, with occurrences ranging from 5 to 27 newborns per year since 2010. A variation of this name includes Starke, adding a subtle twist to its already unique appeal.
