Ignite baby Fawke’s spark with this masculine British name. This title is a spelling variation of the Norman-French last name Faulkes which is derived from Germanic Falco, meaning “falcon.” With ties to this powerful bird of prey, baby will be endowed with swiftness and strength. The name Fawkes famously belongs to Dumbledore's phoenix. Taking flight in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, this firebird bravely attacks a basilisk to save Harry from its deadly gaze. Magical in nature, Fawkes' life cycle involves bursting into flames and rising again from the ashes. As baby Fawke spreads their wings, they will have the courage to face anything life brings them.
