Jane Austen Names for Boys

If you’re looking for strength, masculinity and sophistication, you’ll find it in a Jane Austen baby name. These are names from the Georgian Era, when classic English names like Henry and Edward began mixing with those of German influence, such as Frederick and Walter.

Along with Henry and Walter, other Jane Austen names for boys in the US Top 300 include Arthur, Charles, George, Graham, James, John, Thomas, and William. For a more modern touch, consider the surname of a Jane Austen character, such as Grantley, Jones, Saunders, or Weston.

These traditional Old English baby names have lost none of their royal luster, and are shared by some of Jane Austen's bravest male literary heroes. And no, we're not just talking about Mr. Darcy. Browse our collection of Jane Austen names for boys, below.
