Power

Baby’s got the power, so say it loud and clear with the name Power. This masculine appellation is most recognized for the English word “power,” which means “ability,” “strength,” and “might” from the Latin potis. However, Power’s roots carry much more historical and familial significance than meets the eye. Power is a prominent last name in Ireland and Britain of Anglo-Norman origin, stemming from a nickname meaning “poor” from the Latin pauper. As a French last name, Power is a habitational title for someone from the Pays de Poix, or Picardy. Well-traveled and well-versed, Power manifests the will and determination to ride the chariot to success.
