Give baby a name to always remind them where they come from! Von is a masculine moniker of German origin. It is a commonly used prefix or term, which you might recognize from various surnames like Von Stein or Von Trapp, and was often used to indicate noble familial ties. It means “from” or “of” and is a short and sweet reminder to your little one about their ancestral roots. Additionally, Von might be a respelling of the Welsh Vaughn, meaning “small,” or it could be of Old Norse origin, where it has a meaningful definition of “hope.” For such a seemingly simple moniker, there is obviously a lot to love about Von—just like there will be a lot to love about baby!
