Star Wars lovers, I have found the perfect name for your Padawan. Famously borne by the actor who plays Luke Skywalker, Hamill is both a surname and a boy’s name. Interestingly, the moniker has two very different meanings. Deriving from the Old English term hamel, Hamill means “scarred” and would have come from a nickname. It also signifies “Hawthorn village,” stemming from the placenames Haineville or Henneville. When baby Hamill joins your galaxy, they will become proud members of the Light Side. As a Jedi-in-training, they will use their lightsaber to fight against the evil Empire alongside their friends. May the Force be with you, as you are about to have a legendary peacekeeping knight on your hands in baby Hamill.
