It’s difficult to picture your baby growing up to be a strong adult when you’re eagerly waiting for the day to hold that bundle of joy in your arms for the first time. But, it could very well be the case for your growing baby. So, if you aspire for your child to be a strong and mighty protector, whether it’s as an adult or just for their future younger siblings, there are plenty of names that fit the meaning.
The name Alex is of Greek origin and means “protector of mankind.” The name has a lofty aspiration and is suitable for all genders. Names that are variants of Alex, like Alexa, Alexander, and Alexandra, all have similar meanings.
For boys, Ned and Raymond also mean “protector” and “protector of men,” respectively. While both names have dropped in popularity, with Ned not being notable since the 1970s, these names will definitely stand out in a classroom.
A strong name for girls is June, coming from Latin origins. It means “protector of women.” The name can also mean “protector of marriage” since the name comes from the Roman goddess of marriage, Juno. Regardless of what June may be protecting, the name suggests strength and power, yet it’s commonly used as an elegant name for girls.
