It’s only natural to think there is something so special and otherworldly about your little bundle of joy. Pay homage to how wonderful baby is with the lovely title Howel. Both a given name and a surname, Howel is typically masculine and boasts the beautiful meaning of “eminent,” “prominent,” or “remarkable.” Howel has strong Welsh roots and makes for a meaningful choice to keep baby connected to their Celtic heritage. It originally came from the name Hywel and was borne by a dynasty of kings in Wales and Brittany in the 10th century, offering the moniker a regal aura.
