Last Updated on October 28, 2019

From Nabendu to Nym and everything in between, hundreds of baby boy names starting with the letter N along with the meanings and origin of each name.

This carries into adulthood when it becomes necessary to fill out forms, go on job interviews, and make introductions as part of their normal everyday life. Consider an easier spelling for baby boy names you like if the sound is the same when it’s pronounced to others.
