Bay is a gender-neutral name stemming from two languages, most notably the Old English word baye. Meaning “berry” or “berry tree,” Bay is fresh, vibrant, juicy, and brimming with abundance. Bay is also a Russian name for boys derived from the word bayat, which means “to speak” or “to tell,” ideal for the little one with the gift of the gab. Bay may also be considered a nautical choice with imagery of the sparkling ocean semi-enclaved by the coast. Whether sweet, sour, or somehow filled with vitamin sea, baby’s words can flow with passion and grace with a name like Bay.
