Berry

“From the Old English berie or berige, meaning "berry" — the small round fruit. As a surname, Berry could also derive from the French province of Berry (from the Gaulish tribe the Bituriges). As a given name, Berry appears in American records from the 19th century, used for both sexes. It carries a natural, unassuming quality alongside the French aristocratic regional association, and has been used as a diminutive of Bernadette or Berenice as well.”

Clay

“From the Old English clæg, meaning "clay" — the dense, fine-grained mineral earth. As a surname, Clay identified someone who lived near or worked with clayey soil. It transferred to given-name use in the American South and West, partly through association with statesman Henry Clay, the "Great Compromiser" of 19th-century American politics. The name carries elemental, earthy connotations alongside a clean, spare American sound.”

Easter

“From the Old English Ēastre, the name of a spring festival that the monk Bede associated with an Anglo-Saxon goddess of dawn and spring (possibly related to the Proto-Germanic *austrō meaning "dawn, east"). The name also overlapped with the Christian feast of the Resurrection, absorbing its associations. As a given name, Easter was used in African American communities to mark children born near the feast.”

Gardner

“Gardner is an occupational surname-turned-given-name from Middle English "gardener", derived via Old French "gardineor" from a Germanic root related to "garden" (an enclosed cultivated space). It entered use as a given name in 19th-century America following the common practice of using surnames as first names. The root is ultimately Proto-Germanic "*gardaz" meaning enclosure.”

Chelsea

“From the English place name Chelsea in London, from the Old English cealc meaning "chalk" and hyth meaning "landing place, wharf" — thus "chalk landing place" or "chalk wharf". The London district of Chelsea on the Thames became associated with artists, writers, and bohemian culture, giving the name associations of creativity and a certain raffish London elegance.”

Peyton

“From an Old English place name and surname meaning "Pæga's settlement" or "Pæga's town" — Pæga being an Old English personal name. Peyton entered American given-name use in the 19th century and became popular as a gender-neutral name in the 21st century, in part through the fame of NFL quarterback Peyton Manning. In the American South it carries a strong traditions of use as a family surname passed down as a given name.”
