Names that mean dream or belong to dreams: real given names such as Aisling, Yume, Roya, Sapna and Ahlam, dream words like Rêve and Sweven, sleep gods such as Morpheus and Hypnos, and invented fantasy names like Dreamweaver and Wren Slumberfield.

About dream names

A handful of given names mean dream outright. Aisling is the Irish word for a dream or vision, Yume is Japanese for dream, Sapna and Swapna come from the Sanskrit svapna, Ahlam is the Arabic plural for dreams, and Roya and Rüya are the Persian and Turkish forms of an Arabic word for a dream or vision. Amets is Basque and Unelma is Finnish. Chinese and Japanese names such as Mengyao or Ayumu mean dream only when they are written with the dream character.

The next group belongs to dreams without being a given name: plain dream words such as Rêve, Sogno, Traum and the old English Sweven, sleep and lullaby words such as Sommeil and Wiegenlied, the Greek and Roman figures of sleep (Hypnos, Somnus, Morpheus and his brothers Phobetor and Phantasos), folk figures like the Sandman and Ole Lukøje, and figures from old stories, from the sleeper Rip Van Winkle to the dream-bringing Queen Mab. Nightmare names such as Mara and Cauchemar cover the darker side.

Everything else is invented or evocative: fantasy epithets (Dreamweaver, Hushbringer), soft made-up names built on Latin and Greek sleep roots (Somnara, Oneirelle), two-part character names like Wren Slumberfield, dream places such as Featherdown Hollow, and surreal images like Paper Moon. None of these carries a traditional meaning.

How to choose dream names

If the meaning matters, stay with the names that carry it: Aisling, Yume, Sapna, Ahlam, Roya, Amets and Unelma all mean dream in their own languages. Look the name up in a dictionary of that language before you use it for a baby or a tattoo.
Match the mood. Slumber, Lullaby and Featherdown Hollow are gentle, Morpheus, Oneiros and Somnus are grand, and Mara, Night Terror and The Wrong Mirror suit a nightmare.
For a dream-walking character, pair a plain first name with one dream element, as in Isolde Dozewell or Corin Lullwater, and keep full epithets like Keeper of the Small Hours for spirits and gods.
Say it aloud. Dream names work best when they are soft: long vowels, l, m, n and s sounds, and an ending that trails off.
Borrowed words keep their spelling. Rêve, Sueño and Träumerei read as different words without their accents, so copy them as written.

Frequently asked questions

What names mean dream?

Aisling (Irish), Yume (Japanese), Sapna and Swapna (Hindi and Sanskrit), Ahlam (Arabic), Roya (Persian), Rüya (Turkish), Amets (Basque) and Unelma (Finnish) all mean dream. Reverie is an English word name with the sense of a daydream.

Who are the gods of dreams and sleep?

In Greek myth Hypnos is sleep and the Oneiroi are the dreams. Ovid names three of them: Morpheus, Phobetor and Phantasos. Somnus is the Roman counterpart of Hypnos, and Nyx, the night, is the mother of Hypnos. All of them are in the list, along with folk figures such as the Sandman and Ole Lukøje.

Does every name in the list mean dream?

No. Only the given names and the dream words from other languages carry that meaning. Names like Dreamweaver, Somnara, Wren Slumberfield and Paper Moon are invented or evocative, made for fiction, games, pets and usernames.

Can I use these for a fantasy character or a world?

Yes. The list has 1,000 names in mixed styles, so a dream mage could be Oneirelle or Hushbringer, a sleep spirit Father Drowse, and a dream realm the Land of Nod or The Drowsing Shore. Gentle names sit beside nightmare names like Zmora and Night Hag, so both sides of a story are covered.
