Latin Boys' Names

Latin naming for boys reaches from the Roman Republic (Marcus, Julius, Cassius) through the medieval Church (Vincent, Benedict, Anthony) to the modern Anglophone world (Sebastian, Julian, Maximus). Few naming traditions have stayed in continuous use for two thousand years while still feeling fresh — but Latin, with its clear meanings and elegant sounds, manages it beautifully.

We tag each name with one of four tiers to help you understand where it sits in current usage:
- Popular — currently high-usage names, often in the top 100 of contemporary charts.
- Classic — well-established names in continuous use for generations.
- Vintage — historically important names less common today but experiencing revival.
- Rare — distinctive names carried by fewer than 1 in 10,000 children today.
Tiers are updated annually based on registry data where available and our editorial judgment for less-documented traditions.
Two ways: use the 'meaning category' filter above to narrow to a single category (light, warrior, divine, virtue, etc.), or visit our Names By Meaning directory for cross-cultural meaning browsing. Every Latin name is also tagged in our full Latin origin hub with a category breakdown.
Every individual name page includes IPA notation, an anglicized pronunciation, a native pronunciation, and an audio player button so you can hear the name spoken correctly. Click any name in the grid above to open its full page. Where a name has multiple regional pronunciations (like variation across English-speaking countries), each variant is presented separately.
Yes. Every meaning on this site is sourced from standard Latin references and, where names carry religious or cultural significance , reviewed by scholars whose credentials appear on the individual name pages. If a meaning is disputed among scholars, we say so on the page. If it's uncertain, we say so. We never invent etymology. For our full editorial approach, see our About page and Disclaimer.
