Honor is the Latin and English word for "honor" or "dignity", used as a virtue name since the Puritans and in the Middle Ages through the Latin Honorius. In Britain it is mostly a girl's name, but American parents have taken it up for boys alongside Justice, Legend and Noble. For boys Honor stood at number 2656 in 2015, peaked at number 1414 in 2021 and ranks 1814 in 2025.
