Ark
Meaning of Ark
The name Ark, primarily a male name, carries a strong and unique connotation. Pronounced as "ahrk" in both English and German (/ɑːrk/ and /aʁk/ respectively), the name is reminiscent of the biblical Noah's Ark, symbolizing safety, preservation, and new beginnings. Although not commonly used, its rarity adds to its distinctive charm. The name has seen sporadic use over the years in the United States, with occasional spikes in popularity such as in 1970 when it ranked 3282nd with nine occurrences. Despite its uncommon status today, Ark remains an intriguing choice for parents seeking a meaningful and unconventional name for their child. A notable variation of Ark is Archie, which offers a more familiar yet equally charming alternative.
