Strong, rigid, or unyielding
Derived from a Germanic and Middle English surname, Stark originally described a person who was physically strong, sturdy, or severe in character. It evolved from the Old English word 'stearc', meaning stiff or firm. In modern contexts, it is often associated with the resilience and directness implied by its literal definition.
