  By Kara, The Art of Naming

  When it comes to earthy boy names, some of the coolest ones are related to rock and stone. There are some names that mean rock such as the Scottish surname Carrick from the Gaelic Carraig.

  The name Peter means “stone” and so do all of its variants and translations such as the French Pierre, the Spanish Pedro, and others such as Piers, Pierce, Pierson, Piet and Pietro.

  Then there are names that mean earth or another element of the dirt, stone, or ground. If it’s a down-to-earth name you want, the list below features names with rocky and earthy meanings:
