Booth is a boy’s name of Scandinavian origin. Meaning “dwelling” or “shelter,” it’s said to date back to the period after the Norman Conquest when it would’ve also translated to “cattle-herdsman’s hut.” Nowadays, Booth is used as both a first name and a family name, with just as many namesakes in fiction as in real life. Some include August Wayne Booth from Once Upon A Time and Frank Booth from the neo-noir classic Blue Velvet.
