Bartleby

Bartleby is an English name that, like Bartholomew, means 'son of Talmai'. Its most famous literary connection is Herman Melville's 'Bartleby, the Scrivener', a story that has lent this name a somewhat enigmatic quality. Bartleby has an old-fashioned charm, suitable for those attracted to classic literature and somber narratives. While it isn't a common choice for modern parents, its uniqueness offers a certain appeal. Bartleby can be a conversation starter, enriched by its history and literary background.
