Denver is English in Origin.
Denver is an English surname-turned-given name with two credible sources. Most link it to the village of Denver in Norfolk, whose name stems from Old English Dena + fær, “Danes’ crossing/ford,” referencing a place where Vikings traversed the river. Some bearers also derive from the Norman-French locative d’Anvers (“from Antwerp”), which produced surnames such as Danvers/Denver; hence the parallel pathway into English.
As a first name, Denver appeared in the United States in the late 19th century, boosted by the prominence of Denver, Colorado (named for statesman James W. Denver). It has been used steadily for boys and, more recently, as a low-key unisex choice aligned with modern place-name trends. Variants and creative spellings include Denvor and Denvyr; nicknames include Den and Denny. Meaning: “Danes’ ford/crossing” or, by the French route, “from Antwerp.”
