Become enchanted with magical girl names. These fascinating finds have a magnetism that’s hard to match as they dance between mighty and mysterious. We’ve rounded up our top picks in a full list, but let’s meet some highlights together.
Magical names for girls aren’t super common, but there are common cuties with an enchanting side that you’d recognize. Aubrey is one who continues to wow. A unisex name, she has German roots and means “elf ruler.” You likely know Jennifer, too, a much-loved lady who ruled the name charts in the 1970s and 1980s. She’s a form of Guinevere and means “fair magical being.” She’s not nearly as popular as her #1 heyday, but she’s still beloved by many.
Most magical baby girl names are rare, like Alvie. She’s an English relative of Aubrey and means “elf” or “magical being.” Her sound is unique, but she’s right at home with more popular names. There’s also Lorelei, meaning “the enchantress.” This German gem has a unique sound that stands out, reading like a spell of sorts. Other rare options include Thelga and Syrena.
Meanings of magical girl names are some of the best out there. Shayla‘s “from the fairy palace” is one of our favorites. This Gaelic great isn’t super common in the U.S., but her modern look fits in well with today’s top picks. Similarly, the French Fayetta‘s “little fairy” is precious. Sigilla‘s “the magic power” is another standout. For more marvelous, magical meanings, check out Feya and Alara.
Magical girl names may also get their mystical powers from an association. For instance, a name appearing as a witch in media has its own magic. This includes Sabrina, the teenage witch, and Samantha of Bewitched fame. There’s also Glinda, the Good Witch of The Wizard of Oz. You could head to Harry Potter‘s Hogwarts with Hermione or tango with Twilight‘s otherworldly cast of characters, including Bella, Alice, Esme, and Rosalie. Greek mythology‘s Hecate is another contender, as this goddess of magic in spells is as enchanting as they come. See Circe, Freyja, and Winifred for more girls’ names tied to magic.
Become enchanted with more magical girl names with the rest of our list.
