Ombré
Origin:French
Other Origin(s):Spanish
Meaning:Shaded, shadowed; Man
The gender-neutral name Ombré has two translations—one that's immediately visible, and another that requires closer inspection. In French, the word ombré means "shaded" or "shadowed," fitting definitions for a multi-faceted moniker. The word ombré has made its way into the English language, describing the resulting pattern when two colors shade into each other. Perhaps your Ombré will be the proud owner of an ombré onesie, hat, or blanket! This title could also be a shortened form of hombre, the Spanish word for "man," yet another phrase your little one will know in a different language.
