Meaning and background

The story behind Wave

Wave is an English word name rather than a conventional historical forename. A wave can be the rise and movement of water or a gesture used in greeting, so the word carries more than one familiar association. It is short, distinct and easy to say across a park. Neither the sea image nor the gesture should be presented as an inherited personal-name etymology.

Meaning
An undulation or moving swell, especially of water; also a gesture made by moving a hand. Source
