Baby names · English origin

From the hedgerow and the heath

English-origin baby names span Old English (Edmund, Hadley), Middle English (Sterling, Whitman), and post-Norman influences. They lean tactile and place-rooted — many derive from landscape features (heath, fern, meadow) or trades (Spencer, Cooper). They wear formal and casual equally well and tend to age into themselves.
