North
Meaning of North
The name North is a unique and modern unisex name that evokes a sense of direction, adventure, and exploration. Pronounced as "nawrth" (/nɔrθ/), it has gained popularity in recent years, partly due to high-profile celebrity usage such as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West naming their daughter North. The name's straightforward meaning—referring to the cardinal direction—adds a geographical and almost mystical quality to it. Though not commonly used historically, its occasional appearances in U.S. baby name data since the early 20th century show it has always been an unconventional choice. The name North suggests strength, independence, and an affinity for nature, making it a strong contender for parents seeking a distinctive yet meaningful name for their child.
