Townsend is a beautiful boy’s name of English origin, meaning “end of town.” A combination of the Old English terms tun, meaning “town,” and ende, meaning “end,” Townsend was once known as a topographical name for people who populated city limits. And although it holds Old English history in its letters, it remains a heavy-hitter among motor racing drivers and Olympic medalists of the modern age, like Townsend Bell and Townsend Saunders. So while your little one may be last, a name like Townsend will never leave them least.
