Nigel
Traditional English appellation
Nigel is an English given name for males, derived from a medieval Latin form ultimately related to the Latin *niger* (black).
It peaked in popularity in mid-20th-century Britain and has since declined.
In British slang, "Nigel" sometimes stereotypes a boring, conventional person: He's such a Nigel—beige car, beige life.
