Nolan

• This name is simple and handsome, and less common than other "modern" choices like Tyler or Connor.
• This was my granddaddy's name. He was really cool and I miss him. I think it is Irish for "noble." This is a great name because it is unusual but it doesn't sound contrived.

Nolan is an anglicization of the Irish surname Ó Nualláin, meaning "grandson or descendant of Nuallán." the first name Nuallán is most likely derived from the word nuall meaning "shout."
