At a Glance: Name: Stoney – Origin: uncertain (no confirmed given-name etymology) – Gender: used for both boys and girls
Stoney doesn't have a confirmed origin or meaning on record, so if you're drawn to it, it's likely the sound and feel of the name itself rather than a backstory. Social Security has been tracking it in its baby name data since 1922, giving it a long, quiet history in American naming records. It's not a name with a settled etymology behind it, so what you bring to it is really what it means.
