A meaning can make or break a name, especially if you’re torn between two options on your girl name list. One meaning might be pleasant, but the other may speak to your heart, making it the stand-out choice. Maybe the meaning honors your beliefs, or perhaps it contains stunning imagery from nature. Either way, meaningful baby girl names rock our world. Let’s get to know some together.
Our first mighty meanings come from the classics. Elizabeth is a long-loved Hebrew pick with royal connections and an air of Old Hollywood glamor, but her meaning of “God is my oath” is possibly her most beautiful feature. Audrey shares silver screen ties, though her meaning of “noble strength” offers power and prestige. See Abigail and Sophia for more classic meaningful baby girl names.
Many meaningful girl names have religious connections, such as Isabella, a popular pick meaning “devoted to God.” Her friend Eliana is also stunning, meaning “my God has answered.” Now that’s a showstopper! Ximena shares this answered prayer spirit with her meaning of “He has heard.” For more faithful meanings, check out Dorothy, Angelina, and Josephine.
Meaningful baby girl names may bear inner strength with their meanings. Kendra is an excellent example of this. Meaning “greatest champion,” she’s one tough cookie! Similarly, Emery‘s “home strength” is powerful too. Maxine and Amara are equally strong picks to consider.
If you’d prefer nature-based meanings, you have loads to choose from. Leilani is one of our favorites. Meaning “heavenly flower,” she packs a punch of gorgeous imagery. Her friend Kehlani offers much of the same with her meaning “sea heavens.” Esther can shine her own way through life with her meaning “star,” while Iris has a pop of color and positivity as your own little “rainbow.”
Speaking of positivity, meaningful names for girls are rich in it. Naomi‘s “pleasant one” can honor your daughter’s gentle nature, for instance. You might be dazzled by the “dream” known as Maya, too. Yuna means “kindness,” while Karina means “love.” The fortunate nature of Zada is another with positive vibes.
