Falkner is a masculine Latin name with links to England due to its spelling and meaning. The name is believed to be a variant of the English surname Falconer, which spawned from an old occupational moniker. Falconers were tasked with looking after birds and training the younger ones for a sport practiced only by the most noble people. The German word valkenaere and the French term falconnier also refer to the job of the "falconer," so baby can choose whichever explanation they prefer. Either way, your little one will fly through life, soaring as high as their little wings allow.
