There are a total of 1,210 Old man names compiled and organized in this comprehensive list. The selection includes classic, traditional, and regionally attested male names verified through reputable name dictionaries, national records, and genealogical sources.

Old man names are given names commonly associated with older generations, often traditional or historically rooted. They include long-standing names from languages such as English, Latin, Hebrew, Germanic, Celtic, and Slavic. These names range from very common classics to regional or archaic variants. They help writers, genealogists, and parents find authentic, age-appropriate male names with clear origins and meanings.

Interesting and little-known facts about Old man names:
– The list totals 1,210 names, with classics like John, William, and James remaining especially common among men born before 1950 in many English-speaking countries.
– Name frequency follows a steep long tail: a small number of names appear very often, while hundreds are rare or region-specific.
– Many traditional names preserve literal meanings or occupational roots; for example, Robert means “bright fame” and Alfred means “elf counsel.”
– Diminutives and nicknames often become formal entries over time, so Bill, Ted, and Jack appear both as nicknames and standalone names.
– Cultural practices such as patronymics, religious naming, and ancestor-honoring explain why certain names persist across generations in particular regions.
