Wout

Wout is a popular first name, primarily given to boys. It is a Dutch name and has three different meanings. It is derived from the ancient German term 'Waltheri', a combination of two different words, 'Waldaz' and 'Harjaz'.

He was the son of the famous king Wacho and queen Silinga, who ruled Lombards from 539 AD to 546 AD. Wout is the Dutch version of the common English name Walter and the French name Gauthier, both of which have the same meaning. Wout is also the shortened urban variant of Wouter. This first name is the most popular in the Netherlands and Belgium and is slowly gaining popularity in the USA. Wout is a fierce and popular word, and parents who want their child’s name to sound powerful often choose Wout as their preferred name. Those with the first name Wout are considered great listeners.
