Your love for baby will grow bigger and stronger, just like their branches through the seasons. Elm is a boy’s name with roots in nature and history. The obvious meaning is “elm tree” in English, the magnificent broadleaved plant. But it may stem from Elmo, the short form of Old German monikers ending in helm, signifying “helmet.” Æðelmær is also a source for this short scenic name, deriving from the Old English elements æðele and mære, which mean “noble” and “famous,” respectively. Whether baby spends all their time outdoors, playing in the woodlands or prefers lounging in their castle, Elm is a majestic choice.
