What is the meaning of the name Home ?

The baby name Home is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /hoʊm/ (rhymes with 'home').

Home is English in Origin.

Home is an English word-name drawn from Old English hām “dwelling, homestead,” evoking warmth, refuge, and belonging. It also overlaps with the Scottish toponymic surname Home (traditionally pronounced Hume), borne by Clan Home of Berwickshire and familiar via figures such as philosopher David Hume (born David Home) and Prime Minister Alec Douglas-Home. Variant spellings include Hume, Holme, and Holm (the last two influenced by Norse holmr “islet”).

As a given name, Home is rare and largely unisex. It appears in Britain from the 18th century as a transferred surname or matronymic - note Admiral Home Riggs Popham - and today surfaces as a modern, minimalist word-name aligned with place and virtue trends. Related options or short forms include Hume and Holm; Homer is a sound-alike with a different Greek origin and meaning.
