Origin: Scottish

Meaning: Military follower

Just like how the Thanes played a prominant role in Shakespeare's Macbeth, so too will baby Thane have a starring role in your life. This Old English title means "military follower" and was used for lords holding land as part of military service. It became a Scottish and British last name and is now crossing over to first name usage. Your lordling will run the household with this strong name, which perfectly balances a medieval feel with the familiarity of Zayn or Blaine.
