Knowles, a boy's name of great heights, peaks at the summit of baby name choices! Originating from an Old English surname, it means “little hill” and "at the knoll," derived from Old English cnolle, describing a person who lived amidst the rolling landscape. As you embrace Knowles, envision a name that rises like a rolling hill, full of character and charm. And, of course, it may also ring a familiar note as the star-studded surname of Beyoncé and Solange Knowles, two sisters who've etched their names on the music industry's highest hills.
