Parents who seek something posh for their little prince often love royal names for boys. These names may have royal meanings, or real-life royals might’ve worn them in history. Let’s meet some standout royal boys’ names together.
Royal name buzz is nothing new, with possible names for a new royal baby floating around whenever whispers of a new member of a monarchy circulate. Often, these lists contain the most commonly used royal names, which often appear within a noble’s many monikers. That’s right: Royals often have multiple middle names. If you’d like to emulate this style, we suggest aiming for a melodic syllable pattern. This avoids a clunky sound and helps with flow. Among these most popular royal male names is George. Most recently given to England’s Prince George, countless kings in the past have worn the moniker. Meaning “farmer,” this Greek great is polished yet approachable. Albert is another common choice. While somewhat formal is sound, he can be softened with the spirited Albie nickname. Other common male royal names are Charles, Edward, and Henry.
If you venture beyond England, royal names for boys sometimes become a little less common on U.S. name charts but are equally fascinating in backstory. Henri comes from the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, and his sons’ names Guillaume, Felix, Louis, and Sebastien, are certainly handsome. Over in Sweden, you’ll find Carl, worn by the king and prince, along with princes Nicolas, Alexander, Gabriel, Julian, and Oscar. Abdullah is worn by the kings of Jordan and Malaysia, while Philippe is the king of Belgium. More international royal boy names include Willem, Frederik, and Joachim.
Royal names for boys can also have royal meanings, like Rex’s “king.” Ryan is another you likely know, meaning “little king.” Malik is another “king,” along with the “red king” Rory. For prince-inspired picks, see Amir, Brendan, and Vladimir. Other parents prefer actual royal titles, with King, Prince, and Duke recently climbing the charts, while Earl was once a well-loved face.
Browse the rest of our royal names for boys list and see which noble name winds up in your favorites.
