Latina girl names have a beautiful mix of styles and origins from all corners of the Earth. While popular or associated with Latin America, these names are more of a melting pot thanks to the region’s rich trade history, leaving plenty of choices for every parent’s preferences, whether you prefer a contemporary cutie or a timeless treasure. Get to know some of these stunners with us.

Popular Latina girl names range from Spanish sweethearts like Camila and Ximena to Latin loves like Olivia and Luna. Catherine‘s sister Catalina is a favorite, and with a meaning like “pure” and cute nicknames like Tali and Lina, it’s no surprise why. Similar in sound is Cateleya, a name that’s also a type of orchid flower. She’s seen a modern spike in popularity, along with her variant Kataleya. This is also true with Amaya, which has roots in Japan and Spain. She’s a top-notch choice for multicultural households, and with a meaning like “night rain,” she has built-in mystery. Check out Selena, Yaritza, and Elena for more popular Latina picks.

If you prefer something more mainstream, you’re in luck, as classic Latina girl names offer timeless appeal. There’s Nina, the “little girl” with a gentle sound, as well as her longer friend Guadalupe whose “wolf valley” meaning is fierce. Luisa matches this ferocity with her “famous warrior” meaning, as does Gabriela, meaning “God is my strength.” The “song” behind Carmen may be music to the ears of music lovers, while the “starlike” Estella is a winner for astronomers and everyday folk alike. Then there are the time-tested treasures, Ana and Maria. They always have a spot toward the top of the charts and are common middle name picks too. Other classic Latina names for girls include Linda, Raquel, and Anita.

Unique Latina girl names suit parents seeking something rare or at least less common than popular picks. We rounded up some that aren’t super common stateside, like place-name princesses Zamora and Havana. Baila is another rare beauty. Meaning “dance,” she’s a natural fit for an active baby girl. The “lovable” Mayte is also a rare gem. For more unique picks, see Vida, Xanti, and Azora.

Exceptional meanings and Latina girl names go hand in hand. Ramona‘s “protecting hands” is beautiful, as is Esperanza‘s “hope.” The cheery Solana will brighten your day with her “sunlight,” while the light-hearted Litzy‘s “joy” is infectious. Mirari‘s “miracle” is incredible, just like Cielo‘s “sky.” See Mireya, Luzia, and Mafalda for more great meanings.
