Iggy

US Popularity Rank: 15559

Origin: British

Meaning: Fiery one

You’ve got a new passenger in your family car, so why not consider the name Iggy? This gender-neutral name has English origins, and means “fiery one.” It is derived from the classic boy’s name Ignatius, but Iggy offers a short and not-so-sweet alternative. Regardless of whether baby is a natural-born spitfire or comes out with bright red locks, this name will surely make an impression. In addition to this moniker’s crackling potential, it also has a few cool musical connections. With both Iggy Pop and Iggy Azalea’s tunes to lull baby to sleep in the evenings, little Iggy is free to fan their flames during the day!
