Rod

US Popularity Rank: 21800

Origin: British

Meaning: Of Roderick; Famous power

A masculine English name with origins in Germany made famous by a man from Scotland. When people hear the name Rod, it is frequently followed by the surname Stewart. Seemingly in the public eye since the days of William Wallace, Rod Stewart has enjoyed a career rubbing shoulders with Elvis, The Beatles, and Sting. Rod, meaning "famous power," is indeed apt in this case, but whether your little one takes it literally or figuratively matters little. Baby Rod will quickly realize that you will do anything for them and do it All For Love.
