Meaning: Father of the sky

By Jove, I think you’ve got it—the perfect name! A surprisingly stylish masculine name, Jove has Latin roots and is also an alternative name for Jupiter, the Roman god. As such, it makes sense that this name means “father of the sky” in reference to this otherworldly deity. You might also have heard this name used to express surprise or add emphasis to something, primarily in an old-timey, British fashion. Your jovial little kid is sure to take this short and sweet name and make it entirely their own, to no one’s astonishment.
