Say “sup” to this cool gender-neutral name! This original moniker has roots in Old English and Old French, where it means “to dine” or “to drink,” and was used as a way to describe eating an evening meal. Today, we prefer saying “supper,” but this fancy variation can also work well as a first name for your little muffin. The etymological origins of sup likely come from the Old French super or super, or even soup. With a name like this, little Sup is sure to dine out on all that life has to offer and enjoy life to the fullest! Sup also has possible Thai origins, where it means “treasure,” which is perfect for the newest gift in your life. It also has Korean connections, where it means “forest,” “grove,” or “thicket,” to add a little nature to the mix.
