Bowie
Meaning of Bowie
Bowie, pronounced BOH-ee, bursts onto the scene like a shower of confetti. Born from the Scottish Gaelic “buidhe,” meaning fair-haired, it now blazes with every color on the palette. Rock-and-roll titan David Bowie lends it star-dust, while frontier legend Jim Bowie adds a splash of cowboy courage. Unisex by design, it fits a niño or niña with equal flair—part suave caballero, part fearless vaquera. Stateside charts show Bowie sprinting upward, proof that parents hear the rhythm and shout “¡olé!” Say it out loud and the two bright syllables sparkle, then vanish like a quick guitar riff. For a child, Bowie hints at a life of bold ideas and boundless horizons. Short name, big stage.
