It's a rare occasion when you happen upon a unique and unusual name that is also steeped in tradition. Gentry is one such choice, and this gender-neutral English name is part of the last-name baby-name trend. It has connotations of “nobility of birth or character” and was given to those who were “high-born” or “the class of well-born and well-bred people.” The clue is in the name, as gentil is where the concept of a gentleman came from in high-class society. Gentry is ideal for those who hope to teach baby good manners and diplomacy as they make their way in the world.
