Origin: British

Meaning: Roof thatcher

If baby has a golden mane reminiscent of straw, Thatch could be a charming choice for your little ray of sunshine. It comes from Old English þæc, meaning "thatch." This moniker has roots in the occupational surname Thatcher, given to families who used straw to "roof thatch" on houses to keep the home dry. Even if baby isn't a blondie, they may still wear the name, just like Edward Thatch, better known as the infamous pirate Blackbeard.
