Stone
English origin
“Derived from the Old English word for a rock or stone, Stone as a given name evokes strength, solidity, and endurance. This single-syllable nature name is part of a modern trend of using elements and minerals as personal names, offering gender-neutral appeal. Stone conveys both earthiness and resilience.”
