Parken

With just one smile or laugh from baby Parken, even a rock-solid heart might melt. This masculine name is more commonly a surname, though it appears to have strong ties to a first name carried by many. With English origins, Parken derives from Peter, so if you hold someone called Peter close to your heart, you can honor them in your little one’s name. A combination of the Old English element per and the suffix kin, Parken means “rock” or “stone”—two meanings that Peter shares. Interestingly, Parken can also translate to “little Peter,” so if baby Parken is part of a long line of Peters, they’ll be reminded of that every time they hear their name.
