Few choices capture the sense of wanderlust like exotic boy names. Packed with international charm, it’s hard not to love them. They’re far more common abroad than stateside, but they’re just as handsome as the chart-toppers we’re used to seeing. Let’s meet some exotic boy names together.
You’re in luck if you like rare names, as many exotic boy names are uncommon stateside. Esai is one of our all-time favorites. This handsome Spanish moniker means “God is salvation.” His friends Cordero, meaning “lamb,” and Zefarin, meaning “west wind,” are great options too. If you jet over to Germany, you’ll find the rare Alberic. He’s a cousin to the mega-popular Aubrey. In Wales, you’ll discover Merwyn, a cute pick meaning “sea friend.” Check out Jibri, Palomo, and Kuval for more uncommon exotic boy names.
Exotic boy names are often familiar to names we’re used to seeing on the American baby name charts. This includes Alejo, a form of Alexander, and Jacques, a variant of James and Jacob. You can opt for Arturo, the Italian and Spanish form of Arthur, or Olivier, a form of Oliver commonly used by French parents. More exotic boy names related to popular picks are Willem, Henrik, and Danilo.
Exotic baby boy names are famous for their meanings. They give the names life off the page and are a cool aspect for kiddos to look back on. One of the best out there is Domani’s “tomorrow.” Kiango’s “light” is equally awesome with its upbeat nature, along with the “king’s messenger” behind Aulani. Water lovers might like Delmar, meaning “of the sea,” and Jaladi, meaning “ocean.” See Kamea, Basim, and Jivan for more great meanings.
Travel around the world with our list of exotic boy names. We hope you’ll find the special name you’re looking for.
