Temple

Temple is a divine gender-neutral name of English origin, perfect for your little cherub! Derived from the Latin word templum, this name means “dweller near the temple,” and is a metonymic occupational surname that was commonly used to denote someone who lived near or worked at such an establishment. The name has certainly gained popularity as a first name in recent times, in part due to Dr. Temple Grandin and her inspirational writings on autism and animal welfare.
