Fruit Baby Names
- Pomelo
Origin:
Word nameMeaning:
"citrus fruit"Description:
Clementine, Peaches, Cherry, and Pepper (and more occasionally, Apple) are all in use for girls, while the name of the largest citrus fruit, Pomelo, might be a more unisex option if you want something both rare and from the fruit bowl.
- Olallie
Origin:
Place name, ChinookMeaning:
"berry"Description:
The name of a state park in Washington known for its waterfalls, and the name of a lake in Oregon too, Olallie is a Chinook word meaning "berry". There is also a berry that was released in the 1950s called the Olallieberry, a cross between a Black Logan and a Youngberry.
- Miskomin

OjibweMeaning:
"raspberry"Description:

- Almendra
Origin:
Spanish, LatinMeaning:
"almond"Description:
A rare choice with familiar sounds, Almendra is a Spanish word name meaning "almond", making it a nature-inspired choice with links to Bible and to marzipan treats. With potential nickname Alma, it could be an appealing choice.
- Mefus
Origin:
WelshMeaning:
"strawberries"Description:
Similar enough to Mavis in sound that it might just work, Mefus is a sweet and summery choice taken directly from the Welsh word for "strawberries". The pronunciation, MEH-vis is likely to be unintuitive outside of Wales, though within Wales, it might have the same energy as choosing Apple or Plum. One for the middle spot, perhaps.
- Mansikka
Origin:
FinnishMeaning:
"strawberry"Description:
Sweet yet spiky in sound, Mansikka is the Finnish word for strawberry, making this a summery, foodie choice. While the word Strawberry has only appeared in the US stats a handful of times over the years, Mansikka was given to 39 girls in Finland in a recent year.
- Kirsikka
Origin:
FinnishMeaning:
"cherry"Description:
As fruit names go, Cherry is one of the more usable options in English, and the same can be said for Kirsikka, its Finnish counterpart. Sweet and vibrant, Kirsikka was given to more than 1200 girls in Finland in a recent year, while its charming diminutive, Kirsi ranked in the Top 100.

- Damson

Short form of Adamson, Word name, EnglishMeaning:
"son of Adam; plum of Damascus"Description:
A word name, a color name, and a brand name, Damson is associated with a type of fruit, a shade of purple and the fashion brand, Damson Madder. While some may find it far too close to the word damn to be used as a name, others may find the wordy feel and the stylish -son ending appealing.
- Afina
Origin:
Russian and Ukrainian form of Athena, RomanianMeaning:
"from Athens; bilberry"Description:
A multicultural name with two quite different meanings, Afina is the Russian and Ukrainian form of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war, and a Romanian name, derived from afin meaning "bilberry".

EnglishMeaning:
"broom meadow, boom clearing; cooking apple"Description:

- Acai
Origin:
Brazilian Portuguese fruit and tree nameDescription:
The açai palm is a tree native to Brazil that produces açai berries (the base of those trendy smoothie bowls). Since US birth certificates don't allow for diacritical marks, we are unsure if people are naming their children after the fruit (pronounce ah-sah-EE) or omitting the cedilla and pronouncing it a-KYE.

"orange, tangerine; good luck"Description:
Sweet and colorful, Kitsu is Japanese name with a sleek and stylish sound. Meaning "good luck" or "tangerine, manadarin, orange tree" depending on which kanji are used, the name may also bring to mind Kitsune, a fox spirit from Japanese folklore with powers to shapeshift and bewitch.

When people talk about unique baby names, Apple is often one of the first examples they mention. Apple made international headlines when Gwyneth Paltrow chose this wholesome fruit name for her daughter. Many have called it ridiculous, but we have to admit, we find it appealing enough to list as one of our top cute baby names. Rocker Bob Geldof named one of his daughters Peaches; Banana Yoshimoto is a hipster writer. Another choice in this genre is the luscious Plum, though for different reasons, neither Prune nor Cherry will fly.
