traditional name
Heritage-based appellation given
A traditional name is one that has been used across generations within a family, culture, or community, often carrying historical or cultural significance.
Parents choosing traditional names typically draw from established pools—biblical names, family surnames, or names common to their ethnic heritage—rather than inventing new ones or following recent trends.
They gave the baby a traditional name: William, after his grandfather.
