Welles

Meaning of Welles

The name Welles is a handsome nod to Old English roots, meaning “spring” or “stream.” It started as a surname and is now making waves as a fresh first name. It carries the warmth of monsoon-fed rivers in an Indian village, promising growth and joy—no soggy boots required. Fans of cinema catch a wink to Orson Welles, the storyteller whose vision wells up long after the credits roll. Though it hovers around the 800s in U.S. rankings, this rare gem feels anything but ordinary. Pronounced WELZ, it’s easy on the tongue and adds a spark of gentle strength. For parents seeking a strong yet gentle pick for their son, Welles fits the bill beautifully. Like the monsoon’s first drop, this name brings a rush of life and possibility to every child's story.
