Walt

Walt is a boy's baby name of German origin, a short form of Walter, from the Old High German Waldhar, combining wald ('rule') and hari ('army'), meaning 'ruler of the army.'

Walt Whitman gave this clipped form literary immortality with his Leaves of Grass, while Walt Disney built an empire of imagination under this name. Two Walts, two legacies — poetry and magic — that make this brief name feel enormous.
