Horst is a fitting name for any baby who feels most at home in nature. This masculine name has Old High German origins and is said to mean "from the forest," "brushwood," "undergrowth," "wild place," or "thicket." Horst is also linked to the English aerie, meaning a bird's nest. Whether scaling tall trees or flying off on some adventure, your little wild one will know that they are never too far from home.
