Origin & Meaning

AI-Written
Derived from an English place name meaning a passage or crossing for the Danes. The Colorado settlement was named in 1858 after Kansas Territorial Governor James W. Denver. American parents adopted it sparingly as a given name starting in 1880 before modern registries gave it a second, broader life.
