Hirschl
hi-rs-chl,

Origin:Yiddish
Other Origin(s):German
Meaning:Young deer; Little stag
Hirschl is a masculine name of Yiddish and German origin that is prancing with charm and elegance. A variant of surnames like Hirschel and Herschel, the title ultimately comes from the Old High German word hiruz, creating the meaning “young deer” or “little stag.” While it was historically a nickname given to hunters, this can be a lovely way to connect baby to the flora and fauna of the natural world. Deers can symbolize an array of demeanors, from the gentle, innocent fawn to the fierce, antlered adult deer. Since baby’s personality will be an array of different elements, a versatile name like Hirschl can celebrate this.
