The number four represents maturity and purpose, so it’s no surprise why numerology fans can’t get enough of 4 letter boy names. Short and sweet, these picks pack a punch of style and are typically nickname-proof too. Let’s meet some standout 4 letter baby boy names together.
Many of today’s most popular monikers are 4 letter boy names, including Liam. This shortened form of William has taken the baby name world by storm and has enjoyed a meteoric rise in popularity. Close behind him is Noah. Once seen as “old-fashioned,” this handsome Hebrew name is now a staple at the top of the charts. Levi is another favorite, winning over parents with his smooth styling and sweet sound.
Several four-letter boy names fall into timeless territory. They’ve reigned high on the charts for generations, evading the dreaded “dated” label sometimes stuck on ultra-trendy picks. John is one you may recognize along with his variant Jack. Jose and his friend Luis have also enjoyed a long stint on the charts. Other timeless 4 letter names for boys are Adam, Joel, and Will.
Some of our favorite 4 letter boy names are modern ones like Axel. These names may have deep roots in the past, but they feel at home in contemporary classrooms. Luca is another fun one. As a variant of Luke, he means “from Lucania.” Modern 4 letter names for boys include Cole, Crew, and Remi.
Other 4 letter boy names lean vintage like the Biblical powerhouse Boaz. Dean has Old Hollywood ties, while Hugh retains a classic British charm. The familiarity of Alan makes him a nostalgic pick, while Ross is a touch more contemporary thanks to the 90s hit, Friends. Milo, Rhys, and Kirk are also fabulous vintage 4 letter boy names.
Our favorite side of four-letter names for boys is their meaning. Shai’s “gift” is undoubtedly special, along with Leif’s “beloved heir” For a taste of positivity, see Javi, meaning “bright,” and for a wild side, see Liev’s “lion-like” and Rafe’s “wolf counsel.” You could pay homage to your faith with Cruz’s “holy cross” or honor your long-awaited little one’s arrival with Saul’s “prayed for.”
We hope you find the name of your dreams among our list of 4 letter boy names.
