Bridgerton has taken Netflix by storm, and for us name nerds around the world, we’re also swooning over the character list. Bridgerton names for boys have an air of sophistication and charm that weave effortlessly from past to present. We’ve rounded them up into one easy-to-view list.

Bridgerton boy names are all classics, of course, with the well-loved William, John, and David making appearances. These time-worn picks remain beloved today and shine just as brightly on screen as they do in person. Set in Regency-era Britain, the series has many other monikers you know and love, like Robert, Charles, and Henry.

Bridgerton boy names wouldn’t be complete with the Bridgerton brothers themselves. Anthony is the eldest, and as a name, he’s held his own over the years, staying high on the charts. Of Latin roots, his meaning is unknown. If Anthony‘s too common for you, check out his Italian variant, Antonio. Next up is Benedict, a pick that isn’t quite as common today. Meaning “the blessed one,” he’s Latin in origin. Some similar names are Bennett, Benson, and Bentley. The third brother is Colin, a name that can also be spelled as Collin. For a surname spin, try out Collins. Lastly, there’s Gregory, a once-popular pick who we think is overdue for a rise in use. A Greek great, he means “watchful.”

There are some Bridgerton names for boys we’d love to highlight, too. First up is Simon, a Hebrew moniker that’s seen a steady uptick in use over the last few years. Firmly in the old-man chic category, we foresee a little pop in popularity for him thanks to the show. Closely related to him is Duke, which, yes, we know isn’t really a name on the show, but nonetheless deserves a spotlight. This title pick has a surprising country side that we love. Our final highlight is Kellan, a Gaelic name meaning “slender.” He’s not super common, but we see plenty of room for him to grow among today’s top names.

Check out the rest of these Bridgerton names for boys and see which will send your heart swooning.
