Tap into unlimited power with legendary boy names. Whether worn by figures who have achieved greatness or containing an out-of-this-world meaning, these monikers are some of the mightiest around. Get to know some with us.
Our first stop in legendary boy names with the word wows. These are real head-turners that boldly declare their strength. This includes the obvious Legend and the modern favorite, Maverick. King is another ready to rule, as is the virtuous Valor. Check out Hero, Brave, and Chosen for more.
Legendary boy names worn by real-life figures are some of the greatest around. Abraham led as the 16th U.S. president, while Neil was the first person to walk on the moon. Frederick was a prominent abolitionist, and Martin was both a Civil Rights icon and a Protestant Reformation figure. Other names from real-life sources include George, Isaac, and Winston.
Legendary boy names also have mythological associations, as seen with Zeus. This Greek god of gods is as mighty as they come. His Norse and Germanic counterpart Odin is nothing to sneeze at either. Meaning “frenzy,” he’s as energetic as they come, too. Apollo, Ares, and Thor are just some of the amazing legendary picks from mythology.
Another fun form of legendary boy names is the surname. Lewis is connected to Civil Rights activist John Lewis, for instance. He’s also been worn by countless novelists and scientists. Franklin is another surname standout for his ties to statesman and inventor Benjamin Franklin. He’s a clever way to honor a Francis in your life and falls into the old boy names trend that’s in demand today. You can go presidential with Lincoln and Roosevelt or find perfect harmony with musical monikers like Presley, Hendrix, and Lennon. See Carson, Jagger, and Kennedy for more legendary surname picks.
Other legendary boy names hide their power in incredible meanings. Amadeus is a great example, as his “love of God” meaning moves heaven and earth. Declan is also a fabulous option, meaning “full of goodness.” An Irishman in origin, he’s skyrocketed in popularity since taking off on the charts in the 2010s. Alexander‘s “defender of man” is another marvelous meaning and is at least partly why so many adore this classic. He’s also a nickname powerhouse with options like Alex, Lex, and Xander. For more legendary meanings, see Vincent, Theodore, and Wyatt.
