So I recently heard a quote that the word courageous was not originally synonymous with brave but that it meant to be whole hearted. And that someone that is whole hearted is not afraid to show themselves, to become vulnerable. This really resonated with me and made me want to find a name that I could really love that shares this meaning/concept (or as close to it as possible) for boys or girls, but while I want both genders I’m particularly hoping to find one I really love for a little boy. Thank you so much
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m] means “whole hearted” one! [name_m]Just[/name_m] check out the difference between ka-lev and ke-lev when you’re looking into it. It’s a Hebrew name
Also [name_m]Bernard[/name_m] might suit. It means “heart of a bear.”

Kemen means courage/ vigour
You might also consider using both first and middle to get the meaning… for example [name_f]Emma[/name_f] (and all related names like [name_f]Irma[/name_f], Ermen etc.) All mean whole/universal so maybe use a first name meaning whole and a middle name meaning heart so…
Whole…
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
Ermen
[name_f]Irma[/name_f]
[name_m]Emmerich[/name_m]
[name_m]Nikhil[/name_m]
Heart…
