Tree names for boys offer obvious strength and a tie to nature. From literal tree names to leafy meanings, the group is as diverse as it is handsome. They offer a connection to the outdoors and evoke thoughts of letting go of the everyday hustle of life, giving them a relaxing quality. Let’s venture into the forest together and meet some of these amazing monikers.
When you hear “tree names for boys,” you most likely think of literal tree names like Oak. He’s not at all common but quite strong in sound with a powerful vowel start and a short, one-syllable structure ending in a hard K. Oak trees are synonymous with strength and longevity, making them an excellent name association. On the flip side, fellow one-syllable friend Ash is gentle on the ear. Ash trees are often linked with wisdom and protection, giving them an equally enviable association. For something that suits modern styles and sounds, see Aspen, Linden, and Cypress. If you’d rather step out with a mega-rare choice, check on Sequoia.
Other boy tree names are linked to these majestic plants through tree meanings like Quennel, a French find meaning “small oak.” He’s not very common, but his Q start is an eyecatcher. On the other side of the popular range is Oakley, a name that has seen a recent surge in use. Meaning “meadow of oak trees,” this English moniker leans unisex. See Aiken and Yves for more tree meanings in names.
Another option is to look for names with meanings related to trees. This is more flexible than tree-only meanings, ushering in familiar faces like Silas, a Latin legend meaning “man of the forest.” Similar in meaning, Fraser hails from Scotland and means “of the forest men” while Dresden is from Germany and means “people of the forest.” Arden means “great forest,” and the classic Keith means “woodland.” The good news is, most of these (aside from Silas) aren’t too common, something that may delight you if you’re seeking something unique. See Boyce, Calhoun, and Griswald for more boy names with tree-related meanings.
