Prentice

US Popularity Rank: 24386

Origin: British

Meaning: Apprentice

You and baby will be two peas in a pod, so why not make it official with the name Prentice? This masculine pick, meaning "apprentice," was all the rage in the 1930s, but it's now a rare vintage treasure awaiting discovery. It's rooted in Middle English and the French word aprendre, which means "to learn" or "to understand." As you show baby the lay of the land, you may discover you've been the true apprentice all along! Your darling Prentice—never the sidekick—is destined to be the main character of their life.
