Baby name meanings often reference a personal quality, like hair color or strength; or an aspect of nature such as water or the sky; or the meaning of a name might relate to a more spiritual quality, such as love or God. The lists here organize baby names by meanings, sometimes with related name meanings -- light and sun and clarity, for instance -- grouped together. You'll find names that mean powerful and those that mean beauty, names with water meanings and those with fire meanings. You can start with the meaning and find the right name, or begin with a name you love and explore other names with similar meanings.
