Uruk-hai
yur-uh-kye
Origin:British
Meaning:Orc-folk
Looks like a new name is on the menu, boys! Taken from the pages of Tolkien's masterpiece series, The Lord of the Rings, this new baby name Uruk-hai is a fierce choice. The name Uruk-hai actually refers to an entire race of monsters bred in the fire-and-brimstone pits of Isengard. The name comes from Tolkien’s imagination, derived from the Black Speech elements uruk, meaning “orc,” and hai, meaning “folk.” If you're looking to give baby menacing ties to your favorite book series, then you can’t go wrong with this choice. You can even get baby a cute little onesie with a white handprint on it to complete their look!
