For baby boys, the name Boston comes from the British language. Although Boston is often portrayed in Hollywood films and TV shows as a city of towering skyscrapers, beautiful beaches, and mouth-watering street cuisine, the origins of this term can be traced back to the Old English word Botwulf, which means “town by the woods.” The market town of B, nestled in the heart of Lincolnshire, is known for its tranquil atmosphere, historic buildings, and luscious vegetation. Boston may always find a bit of home, whether he or she grows up in a little town or amid the bright lights of a city.
