Rearden

If you’re looking to give baby a name steeped in tradition, Rearden is a royal choice with plenty of intrigue behind it. Traditionally used as a surname, it’s Medieval Irish in origin and, as a first name, considered a masculine moniker. Rearden first appeared in the Gaelic Ó Riordain—though Ó Rioghbhardain is noted as the original form of the surname, which comes from the words riogh bhard, meaning “royal bard.” A bard, or poet, is quite a charming symbol of creativity and wisdom—qualities that baby Rearden might naturally grow into with such a distinguished name.
