We live in fast times, so it makes sense that there are plenty of names to reflect the current pace of life. As such, we’ve put together a list of these names for parents-to-be, and we think you’ll love these exotic monikers that put a refreshing twist on the baby name game. Read on to learn more about them!
First off, there’s Javin, a Sanskrit boy’s name that means “quick.” While it’s unsurprisingly most popular in its home country of India, it could be a hip choice for parents who want something a little more original than more familiar favorites like Gavin.
Parents looking for a more Biblical bent on their baby’s name can go with Boaz. This Old Testament classic is Hebrew for “swift and strong,” which are certainly two qualities worth hoping for in all children. This energetic name has been in the baby name rotation here since the early 20th century, yet it’s still unique enough to help your little one stand out on any classroom roster with pride.
For girls, we love the classically noble Dianna, which happens to be the namesake of the Roman goddess of hunting. Naturally, this name implies strength and swiftness, as we would expect any goddess of hunting to model! It’s also enjoyed popularity well into the 21st century, having nearly broken into the list of top 100 baby names in 2007.
Don’t speed off just yet – we’ve got plenty more names that mean fast on our long list below that we guarantee you’ll love.
