With a name like Hackett, baby will be at the cutting edge of everything they do. This masculine moniker has German and English roots and appears to have originated as an occupational title. Deriving from the Old German verb hacken, meaning “to hack” or “to chop,” Hackett may have referred to an individual who worked as a “woodcutter” or “butcher.” Other sources link Hackett to the word hag, which translates to “hedge” or “enclosure.” If gardens and green spaces are baby’s favorite places, their name could inspire them to develop their landscaping skills!
