I think the defination of the word is definately masculine as in a hunter is a person who hunts. Traditionally, this is male role.

JMO, I don't like the trend to use boys names for girls overly much. Especially when it is hard enough to find good boys names without them being turned into girls names. My name is like that & it bugs me. My DH got asked if he was me when someone rang recently and he answered the phone. When I was little, I used to add -Anne to my name to make it more feminine.
