Celestial boy names pack the shine of the brightest stars in the sky. From zodiac signs to legends of Greek Mythology, they come in countless styles, pleasing lovers of rare names for boys and those who prefer something popular. Strap into your rocket seat and meet some of these handsome baby boy names with us.
Our first stop in celestial baby names is angelic picks. Angel is a gender-neutral name, though he’s generally more commonly used for boys. This “messenger from God” is recognizable far and wide, adding to his appeal. His relatives Angelo, D’Angelo, and Angelico are also handsome. Arcelio is another fantastic option, meaning “altar of heaven.” There’s also Aolani, a Polynesian prince meaning “cloud from heaven.” Other celestial baby names with heaven-like meanings are Celestino‘s “heavenly,” Irem‘s “garden in heaven,” and Lulani‘s “highest heaven.”
Some celestial boy names are inspired by celestial bodies. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and the king of gods in Roman mythology. Meaning “the supreme god,” he’s a handsome pick with endless power. Another planetary pick is Mars. Worn by our planet’s red planet, Mars is associated with the Roman god of war. See Neptune and Saturn for more planet-inspired names for boys. A dwarf planet offers up rarer finds, like Ceres, Eris, or Pluto.
A smaller celestial sphere you can use for namespiration is the moon. The moon is an important symbol in many religions, with the crescent moon symbolizing Shiva. Moon is a naming option, along with moon names from other planets, like Oberon, from Uranus. Meaning “royal bear,” this handsome German gent isn’t common but deserves some time in the spotlight. Also with Uranus is Puck, a one-syllable wonder with a no-frills feel. Another choice is Triton, the largest moon of Neptune‘s 13 natural satellites. His rhyming friend Titan is the largest moon with Saturn, while Callisto is one of Jupiter’s many moons.
You’ll also find impressive celestial boy names among the brightest stars in the night sky. You can opt for names plucked from a constellation of stars like Orion and Draco, or you can opt for a named star. Crux is a constellation of stars in the shape of a cross in the southern sky. Similar to the popular Cruz, he’s a definite trendsetter in waiting. You may also like Sirius. This incredibly bright star is the brightest in Earth’s night sky and fits the light of your life just fine. This name of Greek origin means “burning brightly.” He’s also a Harry Potter name. Rigel is another great star moniker. This star in the constellation Orion is a blue supergiant.
Many of our favorite celestial names have incredible meanings. Rayyan is one of Arabic origin, meaning “gate of heaven.” Hespero means “evening star,” while Jericho means “city of the moon.” You can opt for an American origin pick like Kylo, meaning “sky,” or head across the Atlantic with a German origin great like Sterne, meaning “star.” The Japanese Sora means “sky,” while “heavenly sky” is the meaning behind the Indian name Gagan.
