Girl Names with Meanings from Around the World
4,711 girl names from Sanskrit, English, Italian, Arabic and dozens more languages, with meanings.
Girls’ names change fashion faster than boys’ names do, which is why the same decade can produce both a revival of vintage names (Hazel, Eleanor, Mira, Kamala) and a wave of brand-new coinages. Meanings cluster around light, flowers, grace and the divine — Diya, Aurora, Zahra, Grace, Lakshmi — and short, vowel-rich names that are easy to sing to a baby (Mia, Ava, Aria, Riya, Zoya) dominate the current charts almost everywhere.
The names below come from every tradition and country in our catalogue. Filter further by tradition, country or first letter using the links at the bottom, and hover any name in the finder to see its origin, meaning and syllable count.
