A very adored and welcomed someone will soon make their arrival into the world, and what could be a better name for them than Person? As a noun in the English language, "person" describes humans on an individual level, setting them apart while also affirming their membership of a wider population. Though most typically a last name, Person is also a masculine first name, with definitions befitting of the little one you'll find in any crowd. Perhaps it's a variant of Perrson, a Swedish title that simply translates to "son of Per." Per is a Scandinavian form of the Greek Peter, lending Person the meanings of "rock" and "stone." In Breton, the word person means "clergyman" or "rector," encouraging your Person to discover their unique role in the communities they're part of.
