Wedgwood is a gender-neutral name of English origin, deriving from the name of a town in present-day Staffordshire, England. Although the location has been lost to time, the name Wedgwood is thought to mean “Wych elm wood” or “Place at the marshy wood.” Locals from the Staffordshire region began to use Wedgwood as a last name, most notably Josiah Wedgwood, a pottery designer who established Wedgwood Potteries in 1759. The company is still a leading pottery and china manufacturer today. Whether baby Wedgwood has the soul of an artist or grows up a nature lover, they will surely be an adorable new addition to your family.
