Wayne

Wayne is a classic English name that originally referred to a 'wagon maker'. It's solid and straightforward, having been popularized in the mid-20th century, partly due to the iconic actor John Wayne. While it experienced a peak during the 1940s and 50s, today it has become less common but remains a timeless choice. Common nicknames like 'Way' or no nickname at all suit it well. Although not as trendy today, Wayne is a name with a rugged charm and historical robustness.
