A snappy, chic title, Kerk is a unique choice. Kerk is a subtle variation of Kirk, which derives from the Old Norse term kirkja, meaning “church,” which is, in turn, derived from the Greek term kyrios, which means “ruling,” and  “governing.” Kerk is a name with a sense of presence, demanding attention. Much like a church, baby will be a safe space, a sanctuary of peace and joy. Some other famous bearers of this interesting name include Kirk Douglas, the American actor and filmmaker.
