What is the meaning of the name Park ?

The baby name Park is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced Korean: [pak] (approx. 'Pak'); English (US): /pɑrk/; English (UK): /pɑːk/.

Park is Korean in Origin.

Park is a surname-derived given name with dual roots in English and Korean traditions. In English, it comes from Middle English park via Old French parc and Medieval Latin parricus, ultimately from a Germanic word for an enclosure; the meaning is “park, enclosed preserve,” suggesting openness and green space. In Korean, Park is the common romanization of the surname Bak/Pak (朴), whose character means “simple, unadorned; plain wood,” and is linked in legend to a gourd-shaped egg tied to Silla’s founding.

As a given name in the Anglophone world, Park appears with the surname-as-first-name trend, seen sporadically since the late 19th century and revived as a sleek, unisex choice in recent decades, still relatively rare. Variants and related forms include Parke, Parks, and the occupational Parker; in Korean romanization, Pak, Bak, and Bahk occur. Nicknames are uncommon, though Parky is sometimes heard.
