Gauge

Gauge is a boy's baby name of Old French origin, from the Old French gauge meaning 'measure' or 'standard of measurement,' now used as a given name evoking precision, calibration, and engineering.

Part of the trend of tool and instrument names — alongside Gauge, Sawyer, Cooper, and Mason — that give boys' names a rugged, crafts-inspired identity. Gauge has a mechanical cool, suggesting someone who measures carefully, calibrates exactly, and builds things to last.
