In ancient Norse, Germanic and Celtic cultures, the ash tree was highly regarded and believed to have magical powers. In Norse mythology, the first man created by the gods is formed from an ash tree. The Celts, impressed with its enormous size and multipurpose use, associated the ash tree with power, expansion, and scale. Its girth, height, and deeply complex root system were all metaphors for the spiritually minded Celtic people. In both Norse/Viking and Celtic folklore, the ash tree was primarily a symbol of protection. As a gentle giant, the ash tree was also a guardian of children and a healing agent for childhood illnesses. The phrase "atten ash" developed into several surnames, due to the high level of illiteracy in medieval times and the multitude of dialects that produced different sounds (one of the earliest recorded renderings was of "Ate Nasse" in the late 13th century) . The use of Nash as a masculine given name is fairly modern and mostly restricted to North America and Australia. due to the high level of illiteracy in medieval times and the multitude of dialects that produce different sounds (one of the earliest recorded performances was of "Ate Nasse" in the late 13th century).

Personality
Romance is the hallmark of the Six personality. Young leaves have nurturing, loving and caring energy. Six are enamored with the idea of love in its idealized form - and with their magnetic personalities, they easily draw people to them. Like the number two of the personality, they seek balance and harmony in their life and the world in general. They are conscientious and service-oriented, and a defender of the weakest. These personalities naturally attract money and are usually surrounded by precious material objects - but their human relationships are always primary. They thrive on giving to others rather than being motivated by their own desires. This is when they accomplish great things. Six are natural teachers, ministers, and counselors.
Popularity
Nash first appeared on the American male naming charts in 1997, obviously influenced by a popular television police series called “Nash Bridges” (1996-2001), starring Don Johnson and Cheech Marin. As a result, Nash's name saw a sudden (but mild) jolt on the charts and then appeared to fold again. It got another little push up the lists of math enthusiasts around the year 2001, when the acclaimed movie "A Beautiful Mind" was released around a paranoid schizophrenic mathematical genius named John Forbes Nash, Jr. Of course it's also Steve Nash the star basketball player Graham Nash or the 60s era hippie musician. In any case, This single-syllable single-syllable first-name-turned-last name has shown an upward trend for the past seven years at least. We also believe that this may have to do with an emerging trend in favor of names with literary prestige; in this case Nash may be a nod to the poet Ogden Nash, a prolific author of offbeat and comic verse. Lastly, Nash could be used as a quasi-place name in honor of country music mecca Nashville, Tennessee. Whatever the reason behind the growing interest in this boy's name, Nash is doing well on the charts today. He is a “script” ing rather discreet and choice of a baby and matures nicely into adulthood. Beware of some children's jokes such as Nash potatoes, skin rash or Nash.

My son's name is Nash. I love that it is short, easy to spell and pronounce, and yet is still not popular at all. I did not want him to be Jacob W. his entire school life. I think it works very well for my son. Everyone comments on how cool It'sounds and how easy it is. So far the only person who still doesn't like it is my sister who calls him Charlie (his middle name is Alan, lol). I also like that it can be associated with mathematician and economist John Nash, musician Graham Nash, and many sports stars so it is versatile in inspiration as well.

My one year old son's name is Nash. Many people have commented on how cool the name'sounds, but It's not too unusual. If You're after a nice, strong one syllable name for a boy but you want something more unique than Sam, Tom, Ben, Jack etc then Nash is a great name. Lisa Martin
Almost 25 years ago my husband and I settled on the name "Nash" for our unborn child should we have a son. In 1997, Nash Ian was born to us. It is a great name and is very much liked by everyone who hears it. "Cool" is the word almost everyone uses when'they hear it for the first time. It is very masculine, unique, and uncommon. It'suits the'strong individual that describes our son.
My daughters name is Nash and most comments I have gotten are that it is a cool name for a girl.

My husband wanted Nashville and I said "no" So he'said "what about just Nash❤️" I didn't even know it was an actual name until I looked it up! I love the name, short, simple, but very uncommon and I know it will fit him perfectly. People have commented on how "cool" it is without being weird or unusual. I think it fits well with his sister and brothe's names too-Phynix, David and Broedy!

Me and my husband thought our Nash was an original name. Lol! I was pregnant with twins in 2011 and the Dr and nurses kept calling our babies baby A and baby B, and I said we must think of names quick. So I wanted different names as ours are John and Mary. Boring. So my husband thought of nashville. So he'said what about Nash. Our son loves his name and so does his sister'skye!
We named our son Nash Harland....everyone we have ever met thought it was a great name. Harland is his great grandfather's name. I wanted it to be his first name but then we decided not to and I'm glad we didn't. His name'suits him perfectly.
