Baby will be as wise as an owl with a name like Kort. Deriving from the ancient German Kuonrat, this masculine name is a variation of Conrad, composed of two parts_—kōniz_ and rēdaz. Kōniz means “able,” “knowledgeable,” and “talented,” whereas rēdaz signifies “help,” “advice,” and “counsel.” Kort is also an occupational name from eastern Ashkenazic representing a weaver or cloth dealer, taken from the Yiddish term kort. So full of pearls of wisdom will baby Kort be—their friends will undoubtedly give them a call when they need a helping hand.
