Origin:British
Meaning:Son of Walter
“My dear Watson” certainly has a familiar ring to it. A distinctly British name, Watson also happens to be the title of the well-known and loved partner of Sherlock Holmes. It’s no mystery why this duo was like two peas in a pod, and we have no doubt that you and baby Watson will be just as close. The title means “son of Walter.” Don’t worry if this doesn’t match up with any of baby’s caregivers, because the German name itself means “commander.” While Watson may have some natural curiosity, he’ll always know who’s in charge. If you’re a fan of classic baby names, then Watson could be a fitting choice for your new little sidekick.
