Encourage baby to be kind to the world and the creatures around them by naming them Marshal. A masculine title of English and German origins, Marshal means “servant of the horses” from the Germanic words marah, meaning “horse,” and scalc, meaning “servant.” Traditionally an occupational name for an individual who worked as a farrier, Marshal has a classic vibe that will age as beautifully as baby. While you might be more familiar with this title’s alternative spelling, Marshall, Marshal is equally fitting for your little animal lover. When baby hears that the term Marshall can also describe a “chief official” or a “high officer of state,” they may want to borrow that definition!
