Baby Names That Mean Power

Power names were the province of Germanic kings and Roman emperors, and that heritage still resonates. Richard ("brave power"), Emery ("industrious ruler"), Oscar ("divine spear") — these aren't subtle names. They carry weight and presence, the kind of names that fill a room before the person even speaks.
