The English masculine name Heath was once a title used for someone who lived on or near a heath or a piece of “level, uncultivated land.” Heath is also the name of a species of plant with narrow leaves and long-lasting flowers. A famous figure who bore this name was actor Heath Ledger, known for his wide range of roles in movies like 10 Things I Hate About You, A Knight’s Tale, and The Dark Knight. If your little one is destined to love the wilderness and grow up amongst the flowers and fields, they’ll love the name Heath.
