Elegant first names for boys
- Elias: In the Bible a prophet, in Greek a "child of the sun". So who does not shine with this name …
- Gabriel: Christians know him as an archangel – and maybe that's why the name sounds so heavenly ?!
- Jonathan: Literally a "gift from God", the sound is simply noble and beautiful.
- Benjamin: He is a "son of joy" – can there be a more honest name … ??
- Raphael: Also an archangel and "God's healing hand". No wonder that the sound is good for you.
- Alexander: A knightly name that comes from Greek and means "protector".
- Adam: Of course there is something princely in the name of the first man! It simply means "man, earthling" – noble and humble.
- Constantine: A Latin name that stands for "constancy and steadfastness". Clearly two very fine properties.
- Oliver: If you derive names from Old High German, you end up with the name for a natural spirit, in Latin Oliverus means "the olive tree planter, who gives hope" – elegant but one way or the other.
- Theodor: Theodor is also considered a gift from God – definitely priceless.
