In a world that seems to move at rapid speed, you and baby Fleet can be each other’s safe place. Though, given that their name means “swift” or “rapid,” you might discover they’re not afraid to chase after what they want! A masculine name, Fleet has Old English origins and derives from the word flēot, meaning “rapidly flowing stream.” As language evolved, the word flēot became flete, which translated to “estuary” or “watercourse.” Fleet even appears in English dictionaries today as a term used to describe a “group of ships or vehicles.” With a name like Fleet, baby can find the courage to be the driver of their own future.
