Names Ending in H for Girls

Nameberry
By Nameberry
Updated Thu Nov 30 2023
Girl names ending in H include plenty of popular options.

Elizabeth is the most popular girl name ending with H right now. Along with Elizabeth, other girl names in the US Top 1000 include Leah, Savannah, Aaliyah, and Sarah.

H frequently follows the letter A at the end of girls' names, especially ancient Biblical names such as Deborah and Adah. H might also follow T at the end of girl names, as with Gwyneth and Lilith, or G, as in Leigh.

Here are all Nameberry’s girl names that end with the letter H. The top names below rank among the current US Top 1000 Baby Names and are ordered by popularity. Unique names rank below the Top 1000 and are listed alphabetically.
  1. Elizabeth

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "pledged to God"

    • Description:

      Elizabeth is one of the most popular girls' names of all time, the female equivalent of James or William. Yet Elizabeth has so much going for it—rich history, broad appeal, and timeless style—that no matter how many little girls are named Lizzie, Eliza, and Beth, you can still make Elizabeth your own.
  2. Delilah

    • Origin:

      Hebrew or Arabic

    • Meaning:

      "delicate"

    • Description:

      Melodic and lively, Delilah has cut itself (mostly) free from its treacherous past to become a contemporary favorite.
  3. Hannah

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "grace"

    • Description:

      Hannah is one of the nation's top biblical girls' names — it surpassed Sarah in 1998, and ranks in the Top 100 along with Elizabeth, Abigail, Chloe, and Naomi. Hannah is a name with many sources of appeal: Old Testament roots, soft and gentle sound, and a homey yet aristocratic image.
  4. Leah

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "weary"

    • Description:

      Strong but sweet, Leah is a classic name that doesn't feel dull or dusty. It's got plenty of dignity, grace, and pluck, making it a solid choice in the 21st century.
  5. Sarah

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "princess"

    • Description:

      Sarah was derived from the Hebrew word sarah, meaning "princess." Sarah is an Old Testament name — she was the wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac. According to the Book of Genesis, Sarah was originally called Sarai, but had her name changed by God to the more auspicious Sarah when she was 90 years old.
  6. Aaliyah

    • Origin:

      Variation of Aliya, Arabic

    • Meaning:

      "heavens, highborn, exalted"

    • Description:

      Both powerful and pretty, with a melodic sound, Aaliyah joins Layla, Lila, Zara, and Aisha as a name of Arabic origin that is also popular in the English-speaking world.
  7. Savannah

    • Origin:

      Spanish

    • Meaning:

      "flat tropical grassland"

    • Description:

      A place name with a deep Southern accent, the once-obscure Savannah shot to fame, with others of its genre, on the heels of the best seller Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, which was set in the mossy Georgia city of Savannah. Originally a substitute for the overused Samantha, Savannah is now popular itself, long among the top girls' names starting with S.
  8. Nevaeh

    • Origin:

      Modern invented name

    • Description:

      Nevaeh: an already bold word name with the unusual twist of being spelled backwards; a nightmare for those who love traditional, classic names; a divisive option on name forums across the internet; and a spelling and pronunciation that aren’t quite intuitive at first glance.
  9. Ruth

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "compassionate friend"

    • Description:

      Ruth, with its air of calm and compassion, was the third most popular name in the 1890s, remaining in the Top 10 through the 1920s. It's still in use today as some parents tiring of Rachel and Rebecca are giving Ruth a second thought. Some see such Old Testament girls’ names as Ruth and Esther rising on the heels of boy equivalents Abel and Moses.
  10. Lilah

    • Origin:

      Variation of Lila, Arabic, English

    • Meaning:

      "night"

    • Description:

      Lilah may be a simple spelling variation of Lila— itself an alternative form of the Arabic Leila — or you might think of it as a shortening of Delilah or an Anglicization of the Hebrew Lilach, which means lilac. Whatever the root, it's a beautiful and stylish name. The final h adds balance or creates needless complications, depending on your viewpoint.
  11. Everleigh

    • Origin:

      Variation of Everly

    • Meaning:

      "wild boar in woodland clearing"

    • Description:

      Like Ashley before it, on-trend Everly has been followed by a range of spelling variants, and among them, Everleigh is the most popular.
  12. Selah

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "praise, pause"

    • Description:

      The name is derived from the term commonly used in the Book of Psalms, which has a many Hebrew scholars in confusion over its meaning. Given its context in the Bible, Selah is likely to mean "to praise" or "pause and reflect upon what has just been said." Lauryn Hill used this name for her daughter. It is the last word in Anita Diamant's novel The Red Tent.
  13. Faith

    • Origin:

      Virtue name

    • Description:

      Faith is one of the most straightforward of the virtue names popularized by the Puritans in the seventeenth century, many parents still choosing it as an indicator of their religious conviction. Faith peaked in 2002 at Number 48.
  14. Norah

    • Origin:

      English, Arabic

    • Meaning:

      "woman of honor, light"

    • Description:

      The skyrocketing success of singer Norah Jones brought this spelling of the name onto the pop charts in 2003. As well as being a spelling variant of Nora in English, it's also an alternative transcription of the Arabic name Nura, from Nur/Noor "light".
  15. Aliyah

    • Origin:

      Hebrew, Arabic

    • Meaning:

      "rising, to ascend; heavens, highborn, exalted"

    • Description:

      Powerful and pretty, Aliyah is popular a name with two different origins.
  16. Arleth

    • Origin:

      Spanish variation of Arlette, French

    • Meaning:

      "noble, honor"

    • Description:

      Arleth has made the US Top 1000 twice — in 2005 and 2021 — thanks to telenovela star Arleth Terán.
  17. Lilith

    • Origin:

      Assyrian, Sumerian

    • Meaning:

      "ghost, night monster"

    • Description:

      Lilith is derived from the Akkadian word lilitu meaning "of the night." In Jewish folklore she is portrayed as Adam's rejected first wife, who was turned into a night demon for refusing to obey him. Lilith is unrelated to most other Lil- names, with the exception of Lilita, which is the Latvian variation.
  18. Shiloh

    • Origin:

      Biblical place-name, Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "tranquil"

    • Description:

      Cool meets Born Again meets Brad and Angelina, who made Shiloh an instant star when they chose it for their daughter. While Shiloh has risen from obscurity thanks to its celebrity baby use, it hasn't become a star the way brother names Maddox and Pax have. It entered the Top 1000 in 2007, one year after the birth of Ms. Jolie-Pitt.
  19. Ryleigh

    • Origin:

      Spelling variation of Riley, Irish

    • Meaning:

      "courageous"

    • Description:

      Another increasingly well-used, more feminine form of Riley, this one is particularly popular in the South. Ryleigh, along with Rylee, have been rising in popularity in recent years. Ryleigh paved the way for Everleigh, Kayleigh, Charleigh, and several other "-leigh" ending names that are trending now.
  20. Ariyah

    • Origin:

      Spelling variation of Aria or feminine variation of Aryeh, Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "lion"

    • Description:

      Ariyah jumped into the Top 1000 for the first time in 2013, probably because some American parents see it as a creative spelling of the popular Aria or Arya. But it's also an authentic Hebrew name in its own right, a feminine form of the Biblical Aryeh, heard in modern Israel..
