Baby names that mean strength

English baby names grouped by what they mean, as name dictionaries and word-origin sources give it. Bazi8 is a site about BaZi, the Chinese reading of a birth date, and Chinese names; where a Chinese character shares a name's meaning, the card shows it. This meaning isn't tied to one of the five elements, so nothing here depends on a baby's chart.
