Borg

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Scandinavian

Meaning: Castle, fortification, stronghold

If you’re seeking a masculine baby name with a rich Scandinavian heritage, be sure to give some thought to Borg! Meaning “castle,” “fortification,” and “stronghold,” this moniker symbolizes strength and security. While it has been used as a surname for generations, the name Borg came to prominence in the 20th century thanks to its appearance in the iconic sci-fi show Star Trek. In the show, the Borg is an antagonistic group of aliens that pose problems for Spock and the Starship Enterprise. Unlike the Borg, your cherub won’t be a villain, but they’ll have one thing in common with those pesky aliens; they’ll be out of this world!
