Generate names with meanings from more than forty languages: each result pairs a real first name with its translation and origin, from Hebrew and Greek classics to Yoruba, Sanskrit, Japanese, Hawaiian, and Norse names. Useful for baby names and characters.

About this generator

Every name here is shown as Name – meaning (origin), so you can pick by sound and check the meaning at a glance. The meanings follow standard name etymologies rather than the flattering inventions found on some baby-name sites: Cassius comes from a Latin root meaning hollow, and Cecilia is from the Caecilii clan, whose name probably meant blind. Where a name has two well-attested senses (Yuki can be snow or happiness, Miriam is bitter sea or wished-for child) both are listed.

Different cultures build meaning in different ways. Hebrew and Arabic names are often tiny sentences about God (Eliana, my God has answered; Ayaan, gift of God). Germanic and Old English names are compounds of two power words, so Edith is prosperous war and Wilhelmina is resolute protection. Akan names record the day of the week a child was born, Yoruba names describe the circumstances of the birth (Babatunde, father has returned), and Japanese and Chinese names take their meaning from the written characters, not the sound.

Use the list to find a baby name whose meaning you can explain at the naming ceremony, a character name that quietly foreshadows a role, or a pen name with private significance. Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Celtic, Norse, Slavic, Arabic, Persian, Sanskrit, Asian, African, Pacific, and Indigenous American traditions are all represented.

Tips for choosing a name

  • Pick by meaning first, then check the sound in your language: Nomvula (mother of rain) and Solveig (sun strength) are beautiful on paper but decide whether your family can say them comfortably.
  • For fiction, let the meaning do quiet work: a healer called Galen or Rafael, a first-born called Winona, a stern mentor called Soren. Readers who look it up get a reward, and those who do not lose nothing.
  • Verify before you engrave: the meanings here follow standard etymologies, but names like Yaretzi, Declan, and Zane have disputed origins, so check a dedicated etymology source if the exact meaning matters to you.
  • Respect the culture the name comes from: day names like Kofi and Akosua, or Yoruba names like Temitope, carry specific social meaning, so read a little about the tradition before borrowing one.
  • Combine meanings across a sibling set or a fictional family: Lucia, Noor, and Elio all mean light, while Astrid, Seren, Tara, and Csilla all mean star.

Frequently asked questions

Are these name meanings accurate?

They follow the etymologies given in standard references such as the Oxford Dictionary of First Names and Behind the Name. Where a meaning is uncertain or folk-etymological, the most widely accepted sense is given; a few popular modern names (Declan, Yaretzi, Zane) have disputed roots, so double-check if precision matters.

Can I use this as a baby name generator with meanings?

Yes. Most entries are established given names in current use, and the origin tag helps you stay within a heritage you care about. Read the names aloud with your surname, check how the initials look, and consider whether the meaning is something you would happily tell your child.

Why do some names appear with different meanings elsewhere?

Some names exist in several languages with unrelated roots: Hana is flower in Japanese but happiness in Arabic, and Dalia is branch in Hebrew but grapevine in Arabic. Others, like Yuki, are written with different kanji that change the meaning. The origin in brackets tells you which tradition the listed meaning belongs to.

How do I find a name that means a specific thing, like light or strength?

Use your browser's find function on the list: searching for 'light' will surface Lucia, Noor, Lior, Uriel, Elio, Svetlana, Kiran, and Diya, while 'strength' returns Gabriel, Gertrude, Audrey, Ikenna, Solveig, and Brielle. Generating a fresh set gives you another batch to search.
