The letter T is the second-most used letter in the English alphabet. With this in mind, there’s an abundance of names to choose from for your little one. This is exceptionally true for baby boys, however, there are a few that stand out a bit more than others.
Tristan is a name that is varied in origin, but the modern understanding is that it’s an Old French form of the Pictish name Drustan. The Picts were the wild inhabitants of the area now known as Scotland, and the name translates into “sad” or “sorrowful”. The most well-known usage of the name comes from the Arthurian story of Tristian and Isolde.
Tenzin is one of the spiritually-bestowed names of the current Dalai Lama. It means “upholder of teachings” and would be a fantastic name for those invested in Eastern religious or philosophical traditions and who want their son to carry that torch forward in their lives.
Parents that want a more mythic or heroic feel to their baby boy’s name might consider Thor or Titus. Thor is the ancient Norse god of thunder who is strong, brave, and smites evil sea monsters in defense of his home of Asgard. Titus is a common Roman name from ancient times that echoes fierce heroes and gladiators of the ancient world.
For those of Jewish heritage, one might also consider Tamir. Tamir is Hebrew for “tall” and is a great name for parents who want to give their boy a strong and inspiring name.Tristan
