Woodland
Meaning of Woodland
Woodland conjures images of dappled sunlight dancing through emerald boughs, a name as sturdy as oak and as free as a bird on the breeze. Rooted in Old English, Woodland literally means “forest land,” evoking sylvan realms or terra silvestris in Latin, where sylphs and satyrs might roam. Though still rare—just 13 babies claimed this moniker in 2023—it’s on the rise, climbing from rank 929 in 2021 to 916 this year, proving that names with soul never leaf us bored. Picture a little explorer carving his own path beneath leafy canopies, armed with a name that whispers ancient lore, sparks curiosity, and feels both timeless and freshly unearthed. Woodland is the perfect choice for parents craving a nature-infused identity with rustic swagger and a dash of mythic charm.
