Leggett
l(e)-gge-tt
Origin:British
Meaning:Delegate, ambassador
With a name like Leggett, your little one might just be a very capable debater and negotiator. This masculine title was originally an English last name, given to those with a specific but very important job! Deriving from the Middle English word legat, Leggett means "delegate" or "ambassador," describing those who represented their communities in the church or government. Skills like communication, advocacy, and confidence would have been vital for the delegates of times past, and your Leggett will likely have the same talents! Every time they try to delay their nap or bargain for a new toy, you'll see just how persuasive your Leggett can be.
