Breed

Breed is an atypical name for boys. It is usually used as a last name, has English and Scottish origins, and means “broad place.” Its roots are in Bedfordshire, England, where it was given to someone who lived by a "broad place," such as a wide stretch of land used for farming. Breed might also have Dutch ties as it was often assigned as a nickname for a man with a larger-than-average stature—derived from the Dutch word breed, meaning “broad.” Whatever your reason for giving baby this unique moniker, their name will forever remain as a reminder of the unending length and breadth of your love for them.
