Graham

Graham tastes faintly of honey and cinnamon, though its true roots run deeper than the famous cracker. The name began as a Scottish surname derived from Grantham, an English place name meaning gravelly homestead, and Clan Graham has carried it through centuries of Highland history. In the United States it has quietly climbed into the top 130 for boys, beloved by parents who want something handsome without being precious. Two syllables that settle like a handshake, the soft H barely sounded, the M a thoughtful close. Bookish, warm, the kind of name that ages beautifully from nursery to boardroom.
