Disney Baby Names

Disney Baby Names

Baby names from Disney films can summon up positive memories. For some of us, watching The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and Lady and the Tramp shaped our childhoods. If you were inspired by Disney movies growing up, you might consider the name of a Disney character — such as Belle or Nala — for your child.

Along with Belle and Nala, other Disney baby names in the US Top 1000 include Ariel, Bianca, Dash, Elsa, Flynn, Michael, Oliver, and Tiana. Disney villains with great names include Ursula, Jafar, Sid, and Gaston.

These Disney character baby names come from classic films as well as more recent movies. Some names, like Mowgli or Vanellope, have strong ties to their Disney character, while others are less likely to have an immediate association.

Explore our entire collection of Disney baby names below, ordered according to their current popularity on Nameberry.

      Hugo, the Latin form of Hugh, has more heft and energy than the original -- and of course we love names that end (or begin, for that matter) with an o. This one is especially appealing because it's backed up by lots of solid history and European style.

      English
    • Meaning:

      "God is gracious"

      No, we don't consider Jane too plain. In fact, for a venerable and short one-syllable name, we think it packs a surprising amount of punch, as compared to the related Jean and Joan.

      Aramaic
    • Meaning:

      "twin"
    • Description:

      Thomas is the Greek variation of the Aramaic name Ta’oma’. It came about because there were too many apostles named Judas; Jesus renamed one Thomas—meaning "twin"—to distinguish him from Judas Iscariot and the Judas also known as Thaddeus. At first, it was used only for priests.

      Greek
    • Meaning:

      "farmer"
    • Description:

      Iconoclasts though we may be, we like Fred, we like Frank, and we like George, which was among the Top 10 from 1830 to 1950, when the number of little Georges started to decline. Solid, strong, royal and saintly, yet friendly and unpretentious, we think that George is in prime position for a comeback, especially since it was chosen by Britain's royal couple.
