100 Beautiful Baby Names With Meaning

Ideally, picking out a meaningful baby name should be one of the best parts of preparing to have a child. Whether you go for something traditional, or a baby name that’s more unique, it’s one of the first major decisions you’ll make as a new parent. That coupled with the fact that your child will likely be called this name for their entire life means you’ll want to pick a name carefully.

But it’s not always easy sorting through baby name meanings and deciding which will be the best one for your new little one. For that reason, we’ve rounded up a list of the most meaningful baby names for girls and the most meaningful baby names for boys.

As you sort through the list, keep in mind that you not only want something that flows with your last name, but you’ll want to also avoid a baby name that has an unintentional double entendre meaning. (No one wants to be named the same thing as some random French laxative.) Also, many have deep (and sometimes surprising) religious meanings, so if that’s not your thing, take note.

Once you’ve settled on a few options to decide between, you’re one step closer to adorning your little one with the coolest name ever.
