Whitcombe

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: British

Meaning: White valley, wide valley

Whitcombe is a variant of Whitcomb, a boy’s name of English origin. Traditionally a last name, it means “White valley, wide valley.” Whitcombe derives from two locational names. On the Isle of Wight, the location was called Witecombe, meaning “White valley.” In the English counties of Dorset and Wiltshire, the place was recorded in the English census of 1086 as Widecome, meaning “Wide valley.” For a modern twist, Whitcombe can be shortened to the stylish nickname Whit. Your love for baby Whitcombe is sure to span the widest valley.
