Burma

If you want to help baby connect to their family roots, Burma can be a one-of-a-kind choice. This moniker is an older English name for the Southeast Asian country of Myanmar but also works as a short, sweet feminine name. Myanmar is a country rich with history and culture, and a moniker like this can encourage baby to either learn more about their ancestry or build up their wanderlust. Burma may also be a variant of the English last name Burman, which comes from the Old English word burhmann, meaning “one who lives in a fortified town.” The word fortified typically refers to a village surrounded by walls or towers, and may give you visuals of massive castles with drawbridges and stone fortresses. A name like this can always help your little one feel safe, both in your arms and at home.
