Thanksgiving Names

Thanksgiving names are perfect if you're expecting a baby around the Thanksgiving holiday or simply love the idea of expressing gratitude in your child's name.

There's a new generation of Thanksgiving names these days. The classic virtue name Grace, an element of gratitude or the prayer we say before the big holiday meal, was long the top Thanksgiving name for girls, but today that honor goes to the golden autumn name Aurelia.

Along with Grace and Aurelia, other Thanksgiving girl names ranking in the US Top 1000 include Hazel, Clementine, and Ruby.

Unique Thanksgiving girl names to consider include Junia, Marigold, Remember, and Amity.

Felix, which means blessed or happy, is the top boy name with a Thanksgiving theme. Along with Felix, other Thanksgiving boy names ranking in the Top 1000 include Jasper, Rory, Samuel, and Elias.

Unique Thanksgiving boy names on our favorites list include Alden, Truman, and Oceanus, the name of the baby born on the Mayflower. Thanksgiving baby names can reference the harvest or the sumptuous Thanksgiving meal, the Pilgrims or the fall season.
