Origin:French
Other Origin(s):British
Meaning:A person from the region of Brittany
France—the capital of wine, cheese, and runway couture. The name Paris is probably a no-brainer for fans of French culture, but that’s just the beginning of the monikers you can use to express your love for la République. Breton is a name for boys that comes from French and English. Historically an ethnonym, its purpose was to refer to a person from the region of Brittany. Over the years, it’s become a prevalent surname, especially in East Anglia, England, where Bretons were said to have settled after the Norman Conquest. It’s French at heart, though, and is a wonderful way to highlight what the nation—or baby’s heritage—means to you.
