Algernon Name meanings & History
"With whiskers like an elf" or "Bearded". Originally a Norman French nickname, derived from aux gernons "having a moustache", which was applied to William de Percy, a companion of William the Conqueror. It was first used a given name in the 15th century (for a descendant of William de Percy). This name was borne by a character (a mouse) in the short story Flowers for Algernon (1958) and novel of the same title (1966) by the American author Daniel Keyes. Though it has fallen out of favor in recent years, Algernon is a strong and unique name choice for those looking for something that is not overused. The name is often cited as an example of grand and aristocratic names, and would be well-suited for a regal and sophisticated character.
