1871 Noble Boy Names Starting With N

Baby boy names that start with the letter N have been popular across cultures and languages for centuries. These names are as distinctive as the letter N itself. If you closely observe the letter N, it resembles two open mouths facing opposite directions. The letter finds its roots in the Aramaic, Arabic, Phoenician, and Hebrew letter 'nun,' which means 'fish' in some of these languages. This association might stem from its connection to the hieroglyph for a water ripple, which sounds similar to the letter N. Additionally, have you ever noticed that pronouncing N produces a nasal sound, as air flows through the nose while articulating the letter?

N-letter names have grown in popularity over the years because of their association with renowned individuals worldwide. This includes the iconic former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela; American inventor Nikola Tesla; and Neil Armstrong, the American astronaut and first man to walk on the moon. N-letter names are especially popular in the US, with names like Noah, Nathan, Nicholas, and Nolan featuring among the top names for the past couple of decades (1).
