There may be thousands of Saints to choose from, but not all of them are ready for a name revival. As a result, we’ve chosen 200+ fantastic Saint names for boys that would be a great choice for your new baby.
These names are also great inspiration when it comes to choosing Confirmation names. Picking a name that reflects a Saint is part of making your Confirmation and, as this list shows, that doesn’t have to be an old-fashioned or out-dated name. The range of choice from thousands of saints certainly means there is something for everyone!
In addition, tweens and teens making their Confirmation may spot a few of their favourite Harry Potter-inspired names on the list…yes, there really is a St Severus and St Lucius!
Saint Names for Boys
Perhaps your child is due on a particular Saint’s feast day, or maybe the Saint’s patronage means something special to you. While many of these names stem from the Bible, others also represent Saints from centuries past.
