FORREST

The word 'Forrest' occurs in a number of names of places, persons, or locations.
In almost all its forms, it is ultimately descended from the family name ''Forrest'', originally Scottish or English and meaning "dweller in a forest".
''Forrest'' is popular as a male first name in North America and especially in the southern United States; this is likely due to the fame of Nathan Bedford Forrest.
