Meaning and background
The story behind Acorn
An acorn is the nut produced by an oak tree, giving the name an immediate woodland connection. In British English the word is /ˈeɪkɔːn/, with the stress at the start. It is an ordinary English nature word rather than a historical personal name with a separate inherited meaning.
