Anglo-Saxon names come straight from Old English and Latin—the languages that shaped England between the 5th and 11th centuries. These names were built from real words: Ralph means counsel-wolf, Rodney comes from a clear island, and Colton points to a coal town. They weren't decorative; they described who you were, where you came from, or what your family hoped you'd become. Some were given by Germanic settlers, others by the Christian church that arrived later.
You'll find straightforward, strong names like Bryson and Gordon mixed in with older, less common picks. A lot of these names quietly shaped English naming for centuries and then traveled with settlers to America, where some got new life. Each entry here shows what the name actually means and where it came from, so you can see the practical Old English thinking behind every choice.
