Warde

Warde is a name for boys. As the variant of the English name Ward, it means “watchman.” But it’s also believed to be the short form of the Irish McWard, which comes from the Gaelic Mac an Bhaird meaning “son of the poet.” This surname came about in Ireland to refer to the three family branches who took up poetry as their profession. Whether you’d like to ward off evil or have them pen their way to greatness, this name can help them do just that.
