Elterman

Elterman is a masculine name for a little one with a wise head on their young shoulders. Both Elterman and its variant Alterman originated as German last names, formed from the element alt. When combined with man, Elterman translates to "older man," reminding your tiny tot to look to those who came before them for advice and encouragement. Throughout history, Elterman and Alterman were also occupational titles given to a "head of a craft guild" or a "church leader," so once your tiny tot discovers their favorite hobby or interest, you can expect them to become very accomplished at it!
