Rustic Boys Names. When a couple becomes pregnant there are a lot of great experiences ahead of them in their parenting journey. The growing belly, the first kicks, and finding out the gender. But some parents get stuck on finding the perfect name.
I love rustic elements in my home decor and rustic weddings are very popular during wedding season, so why not bring that outdoorsy, rustic element to naming our babies.
Strong, rustic names are growing in popularity. They can be traditional but also unique. To help with finding the perfect name to fit your babe we have compiled a list of 80 unique rustic boys’ names along with where they came from and their meaning.
This list contains old rustic names that derive from strong, rugged meanings. A few are from the Bible. Names like Aaron, Noah, Samuel, or Winston.

We have also included newer, trendy rustic names that have surfaced within the last decade. Names like Cash from Johnny Cash and Waylon from Waylon Jennings.
Whether an old classic or a trendier name, you will have no problem finding a rustic name for your little man.

Needless to say, I have a passion for this type of name, I like that they have a “story”, a “voice” and “uniqueness” without being absurd!

Thank you. Those are cute names.

I didn’t know rustic names were even a thing but I’m glad I stumbled upon this list. I like the uniqueness in a lot of these. Asher is my favorite!
Julia Hess
Thank you so much. Asher is actually the name of our dog but still so perfect.
Norma
Awesome list of names. It made me remember the time when I had to choose a name for my little one. I wish I had a list with such cute names.
Julia Hess
It can definitely be a tough experience.
Joanna
This is a great list of names. I can imagine that choosing a name for your baby is a serious task and it can take even months deciding on the perfect one.
Julia Hess
Yea agreed. I love names that have a meaning.
Candace Hampton
Choosing a name both people can agree on can be difficult. This is such a great and long list. I like that they are all unique in their own ways and the meanings behind them. A name with a story and a meaning is always something people can share about themselves and how it can pertain to their lives.
Julia Hess
Yes completely agree! Thank you.
Vivienne
These are fun names! I’ve always thought these rustic names are American classics.
Julia Hess
Yes for sure. Some may go out of style but sometimes resurface.
Yanitza
I’ve always loved the names Blake and Landon! Great list, by the way!
Julia Hess
I have a friend whose little guy is named Landon. Thank you!
Mommy Sigrid
I like the name Austin, maybe coz I like Austin of the Home Free band haha. But I never knew that Avery was a boy’s name! I always thought it’s a girl’s name. hehe
Julia Hess
I think it is one of those names that can be used for either. I think it would make a great pet name too! Austin is a good solid name!
Anosa Malanga
My most favorite among the names is Wyatt. I love the meaning and its not a usual name given, well based on what I have been encountering. I don’t have kids yet and I would save this for my future baby.
Julia Hess
Yea I agree Wyatt is not used that often. Such a good pick!
