Neon
Meaning of Neon
Neon is a lively name of Greek origin meaning “new,” and it carries the bright promise of fresh beginnings. In English, it’s pronounced NEE-on, and though you might think first of the glowing signs that light up a city’s night, this name also evokes the spark of discovery—much like the noble gas itself, which was unearthed in the laboratories of the 1890s. Warm and uncommon, Neon has been chosen by a handful of American families each year—hovering just under the top 900 baby names—a quiet testament to its modern appeal. It’s a name that feels both timeless and forward-looking, perfect for a boy expected to shine his own light, carve out new paths, and remind everyone around him that every day holds the potential for something brilliantly unexpected.
