Whether you want your son’s name to reflect part of his German heritage or are simply looking for a masculine name, German boy names provide an abundance of choices.

Some German names have gained such heights of popularity in the U.S. throughout the past century that you might not even realize that they hail from Germany at all. According to the Social Security Administration, a few boy names of a German origin, like Henry and Everett, made the top 100 boy names in 2021.

One example of a prominent German-American male figure with a German first name is Leonardo DiCaprio.
