Hamnet

Hamnet may sound familiar to literature enthusiasts as it is famously linked to William Shakespeare's only son. The name is thought to be a diminutive form of 'Hamon', meaning 'home' or 'village'. While it remains rare today, Hamnet has an old-world charm and carries a sense of historical depth. Its connection to Shakespeare provides an intellectual allure, making it a fascinating choice for parents interested in literary or historical names. It doesn't have common nicknames but 'Ham' could be used as an affectionate short form.
