Crane

Crane is a masculine name for the little one who isn’t afraid to reach for their dreams. While more typically used as a last name, Crane could offer a unique alternative to titles like Zane, Blaine, and Dane. Perhaps even hearing the word “crane” reminds you of your favorite bird or construction machine! Crane has Middle English origins, deriving from the word cran, which once described the tall wading bird, the “crane.” While this definition may not come as any surprise, its usage could give baby a giggle or two! In the past, tall individuals with long legs or long necks were given the nickname Crane, comparing their height to the bird’s. In the years ahead, little Crane will learn that there is more than one way to stand tall.
