Freeman

If baby is a free spirit through and through, then this original boy’s name is sure to suit! Freeman has roots in England, deriving from the Middle English words freman or fremon and Old English words frēomann and frīgmann, meaning “a free man.” Commonly seen as a surname, Freeman has particular importance for African Americans, where many people adopted the surname as a way to denote themselves as being freed from slavery. This meaningful choice emphasizes the importance of autonomy in all things and will serve as a beautiful reminder to baby Free whenever anyone says their name.
