Dean

Dean is a boy’s name of English origin. The Old English meaning of “valley” comes from the Middle English dene, signifying someone who lived in a valley. Journeying through life with his own ups and downs, Dean can enjoy the beauty in both the peaks and valleys along the way. Also given to someone who acted as a church official in times gone passed, today, this title is recognized among college and university faculty. Leading similarly through knowledge and compassion, baby Dean may find inspiration in the honorable title.
