Harnessing the natural wonder of Earth’s only satellite is easy with girl names that mean moon. Steeped in power and beauty, names that mean moon are both artsy and brainy, earning a following worldwide. Let’s meet some together.
The most obvious pick amongst female names meaning moon, is Moon itself. She’s not very common, but she fits in with other word-name wows that are trending, like Stormy/Stormi, Sunny, and Rain. You’ve probably met her friend Luna, a Latin lady with a solid modern following. She’s quickly risen toward the top of the charts, where she’s likely to remain for a while. For a similar sound and meaning without the popularity, see her sisters Lunette and Luneth. Selena is another popular girl name meaning moon, with less common variants like Celenia and Celene to choose from too.
Most baby girl names that mean moon aren’t common. This lack of popularity isn’t anything to shy away from, either. Having an uncommon name generally prevents your kiddo from going by her first name and last initial in school. It also helps her be the only wearer of her name that most people know, which is super cool if you think about it. Chandra is one of our favorite rare girl names meaning moon, translating to “moon shining.” Mahina is another, meaning “moonlight.” The Persian princess Mahsa means “like the moon,” while the Greek golden girl Neoma means “new moon.”
Another fun way to find moon-themed girl names is to look to the skies. You’ll find that the names of other planets’ moons are quite beautiful, like Titania and Cordelia from Uranus. If you blast over to Jupiter, you’ll hit a gold mine of awesome moon names, including Callisto, Lysithea, and Amalthea. One of our favorites from Jupiter is Thebe, a fun rhyming friend to the well-known Phoebe. Elara is another gorgeous choice with moon roots.
We hope you find your special name amongst our galaxy of amazing girl names meaning moon.
