Wyatt

Dodge City, 1878: a lawman with a handlebar mustache walks down a dusty street, and the name Wyatt enters the American imagination wearing a star. The name is older than its gunslinger, descended from the medieval English Wyot, itself from an Old English compound meaning "brave in war." One crisp syllable — almost a word shouted across a canyon — with that distinctive opening Y that few other names claim. Wyatt sits at rank 38 in the United States, a steady favorite for parents drawn to names with weathered-leather character. Folk, strong, a little cinematic, and unfailingly easy on the ear.
