Beauregard

Beauregard is a richly elegant French name that translates to 'beautiful gaze'. Though considered somewhat old-fashioned, it has a dignified air and offers a sense of historical substance, reminiscent of Southern charm and heritage. It gained a degree of notoriety in the U.S. through Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard. Though rarely used today, choosing Beauregard as a first name gives a nod to its grandeur and aristocratic feel. Beau is a natural and handsome nickname that provides a more casual alternative.
