Dexter (M)>

Dexter (male)

Diminutive(s):Dex (M)
Pet Name(s):Dexi (M) Dexy (M)
   
Source(s): The Oxford Names Companion, OUP
Notes:

English, especially US, from the occupational surname, itself derived from Middle English "a (female) dyer". It is coincidental that dexter is the Latin for "right-hand" and, by implication, "auspicious".
