Sheraton

US Popularity Rank: 10485

Origin: Scandinavian

Meaning: Farmstead estate; Farmstead of a man called Skurfa

You’ve got Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott. But if you’re wondering why your list of hotel-inspired monikers might be missing a little something, it’s because Sheraton hasn’t been added to it just yet. Old English and Scandinavian in origin, Sheraton combines the words skurfa and tun to create a meaning of “farmstead estate” or "farmstead of a man called Skurfa.” Much like the hotel chain, it’s a top choice for parents with refined taste. This beautiful name is also gender-neutral, so whether baby is a boy or girl, they’ll never have to worry about it being booked out!
