Prince
Meaning of Prince
Prince is a name that slips on like a velvet cape—regal yet playful—born from the Latin princeps, “first in rank,” and polished into English as the title we meet in fairy tales and coronation fanfare; it’s no wonder parents keep crowning their boys with it, nudging the name from the 600-range a generation ago to the mid-300s today, ¡qué ascenso! He carries the glitter of the late pop icon Prince, the charm of storybook heroes rescuing kingdoms antes del desayuno, and the confident swagger of a little caballero who already knows his worth. Choosing Prince is like gifting your son a passport stamped with courage, charisma, and a dash of purple-hued mystique—perfect for families who want a name that dances off the tongue, salutes tradition, and still feels fresh enough to lead the royal parade of tomorrow.
