Silas

Silas is a boy's name of Latin origin, ideal for those with a great love for the outdoors. It derives from the Latin Silvanus, which means "wood," "forest," or "of the wood," inspiring images of a daring explorer always on the lookout for adventure. How fitting that Silvanus is also the name of the Roman god of woodlands and fields, often compared with the Greek god Pan. Some sources link Silas to Saul, a Hebrew title meaning "asked for" or "prayed for." The days you spend exploring and playing in nature with sweet Silas will be all you've ever wished for and envisioned.
