Wheelwright

Wheelwright is a boy’s name of English origin, meaning “Skilled maker of wheeled vehicles, wheel maker.” This was originally a last name in England, primarily found in the historic northern county of Yorkshire, given to individuals who crafted wheels for a living. Perhaps the most famous bearer of this name was William Wheelwright, who lived up to his name as a transportation expert in the 19th century. After being shipwrecked near Buenos Aires, Argentina, he established a steamship company linking Chile, Panama, and England and built the first railroad in Chile. With a stand-out name that has been proudly carried for generations, baby Wheelwright is sure to roll through life’s challenges.
