Send baby off to sleep every night with a loving whisper of their name and a wish for good dreams! Delano is a boy’s name of French origin, meaning “nighttime.” Deriving from the Old French de la nuit, this lyrical choice sounds like something out of a storybook. Traditionally seen as a surname, baby Delano can bring this hidden gem into the light in spite of its meaning! Another possible definition for this unique choice is “nut tree,” stemming from the possible translations from the Old French de la noix. But do nut worry, baby Delano is sure to embrace their inner tree-hugger, no matter the time of day! Some notable namesakes include actor Michale DeLano, singer Delano Stewart, and former president Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
