Bow
Meaning of Bow
Bow is a crisp, four-letter name that feels both spirited and grounded, drawing its roots from the Old English word boga, meaning “arch” or “bow.” Like an arrow poised on its string, a little Bow seems destined to take aim at big dreams, blending strength with a touch of grace. In everyday life, the name carries playful echoes of music—think of a violinist’s bow coaxing out a sweet melody—or nautical adventure, as the bow of a ship leads the way into uncharted waters. Though still rare—hovering around the 900s in U.S. baby-name rankings—it’s precisely that uniqueness that makes Bow an inspirational choice for parents who want a name with character, clever simplicity, and just the right amount of boldness.
