Heath:
Actor Heath Andrew Ledger passed away on January 22, 2008 at the young age of 28. The Australian-born actor was loved by the world for his roles in films such as 10 Things I Hate About You, The Dark Night, and The Patriot.
Heath’s influence on the world is evident through his surname Ledger, which entered the US Top 1000 for boys in 2017 and currently ranks #593.
But today we are talking about the suave and simple Heath. Heath was most popular in the ‘70s (when Ledger was born), peaking at #181, but today is just inside the Top 1000.
Heath is an English name meaning “the heathland dweller”, referring to uncultivated, sandy-soiled wilderness.
Like other one-syllable boy’s names that are in style today — Hayes, Boone, Lane, and Clay are a few examples — Heath has a hipster cowboy vibe that is effortlessly cool.
