Loud noise, large, or one who booms
Originally an American nickname, it often refers to someone born during the post-WWII 'baby boom' or someone with a loud, resonant voice. In Australian English, it is also a term for a large male kangaroo. It has transitioned from a nickname to a rare given name, often associated with energy and presence.
