100 MOST POPULAR & UNIQUE NAMES FOR BOYS - FRENCH
French boy names are full of charm, history, and beautiful sounds. Each name has a special meaning and story. For example, Côme (like Cosmo) is great for Libra boys and feels calm and starry, while Blaise fits Aries boys with strong, fiery energy. Théo comes from Théodore, meaning “God’s gift,” and Sacha is the French form of Alexander, meaning “defender of mankind.”
Some names are inspired by nature, like Florent, which means “flourishing” and suits Gemini. Others, like Louis, were used by French kings and mean “famous warrior,” great for a brave Leo boy. Zodiac signs make these names even more fun—Xavier is perfect for creative Aquarius, Marius is strong like Capricorn, and Damien shows deep passion, great for Leo.
Whether you like rare names like Tanguy (a Breton name meaning “fire dog”) or famous ones like Victor (which means “winner” or “conqueror”), these French names are full of tradition, strength, and a little bit of star magic—perfect for modern parents who want something meaningful and unique.
