Sylvester

The name Sylvester is a name with Latin origins. It is taken from the Latin word 'silva', which means the 'backwoods', therefore the meaning of the name Sylvester is 'of the woodland'. The name has biblical significance and as a result, has been chosen as the name by three of the popes. It became popular as a girl's name after the release of the 1935 film 'Sylvia Scarlett', in which the famous actress Katharine Hepburn takes it upon herself to wear a disguise and call herself Sylvester - that is, until she meets the handsome Cary Grant! As a result, the name was extremely popular in the '30s and the '40s. The most famous association with the names in recent years is the Italian Stallion himself, the American actor Sylvester Enzio Stallone. He is best known for writing and starring the in hit franchises 'Rocky' and 'Rambo'.
