Hunter

A famous name with a straightforward translation, the meaning of Hunter is ‘the one who hunts’, ‘bird catcher’ or ‘pursuer’. The name comes from the Old English Word 'hentan', which means ‘to capture’ or ‘to seize’. In the Middle Ages, hunting was a hobby for the nobility and the royals alone. Animals such as wild boars, deer, and birds were hunted down for sport. As years passed by, the activity of hunting was assigned to designated people known as 'hunters', who would hunt down the animals and trade them with those of the higher ranks in the society. There are a number of notable Hunters from around the world, including actresses Hunter Tylor of The Bold and the Beautiful and Hunter Schafer of Euphoria, as well as Hunter Biden, second son of the current American president Joe Biden.
