Necho

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: Lame; Beaten; Highly praiseworthy

Necho is a name for boys with Hebrew origins. Necho means “lame” or “beaten,” possibly from the Hebrew naka. This biblical name is borne by two Egyptian Pharaohs and is more often spelled Neco, making it a rather niche and faithful choice. Necho may also be a short form of the Galician Tonecho, a nickname for the Etruscan Antonius, brightened by the endearment “highly praiseworthy.”
