Orford

Connect baby to water in even the most subtle ways with help from the name Orford. This masculine name has Old English roots, coming from the words ōra and ford, translating to “river bank ford crossing.” Other translations include “upper ford” and “seashore ford,” all connecting your little one to the part of a river that’s just shallow enough to cross. If you want to celebrate baby’s connection to a specific place, Orford can also refer to multiple towns in England, including the English coastal town of Orford, Suffolk. If baby feels more at home near the water, Orford can make for waves of comfort.
