English origin
“A straightforward English surname adapted as a given name, derived from the Old English 'stoc,' meaning 'tree trunk' or 'stockade.' Stokes appeals to parents favoring short, punchy unisex names with earthy, grounded origins. The name has a modern, minimalist quality while maintaining connection to pastoral English heritage.”
