Erith
Origin:British
Other Origin(s):Danish
Meaning:Old haven; Temple by the river; Honor, honorable
With a vintage feel and slightly elusive roots, Erith is perfect for both girls and boys. Possibly stemming from the area in London by the same name, Erith may derive from the Saxon term ærre-bythe, signifying “old haven.” Another theory suggests that when a church was built in the ancient town, Erith gained the meaning “temple by the river.” It may also stem from the Danish term ærre, which means “honor” or “honorable,” instilling your little one with respect and integrity. Chic and refined, Erith is a name that will remind baby that they’ll always have a sanctuary in you.
