Hughes

Hughes is a beautiful boy’s name of English origin. Hailing from the name Hugh, which comes from the German name Hugo, Hughes means “soul,” “mind,” or “intellect,” beckoning that budding Einstein in baby. The name Hughes is also pretty prominent in poetry. You might think of Harlem Renaissance writer Langston Hughes or English lyricist Ted Hughes, who was also the husband of American poet Sylvia Plath. Some may say that great minds think alike, but they’re probably named Hughes, too!
