About Kirby
Kirby developed from English place names and surnames derived from Old Norse elements meaning 'church' and 'settlement' or 'village.' It therefore carries a long connection with English landscape and settlement history. Its surname-derived form has a friendly, energetic sound and does not contain an inherently gendered meaning. Kirby works well as a gender-neutral given name while retaining distinctive English and Scandinavian linguistic heritage.
