Taken from the hazelnut tree, this nature-inspired English name has vintage roots and literary associations.

Brought by the Normans, Harvey means “battle worthy” and is quietly rising again.

Once a rare occupational surname meaning “harp player,” Harper skyrocketed in popularity, especially for girls, in the 21st century.

Hannah is Hebrew for “grace.” This old-timey biblical name is popular all over the world with soft power.

A Latinized form of Hugh with extra flair, Hugo has gained popularity.

Originating in English and meaning “estate ruler,” Hattie has a feisty, antique sound and is currently more popular than Harriet.

With roots in Old German and English, Hugh means “mind” or “intellect” and has been a steady presence in Irish and British history.
