Rich Names That Mean Wealth

  1. Billion
    • Origin:

      English word name
    • Description:

      The second most common numerical -illion name, after Million. Probably because of the outdated nickname Bill.
  2. Ayan
    • Origin:

      Somali
    • Meaning:

      "fortune"
    • Description:

      The African name Ayan was first seen on the US Top 1000 for boys in 2014. It's both simple and distinctive, a winning combination.
  3. Jessie
    • Origin:

      Variation of Jesse
    • Description:

      The -ie version is usually for girls, with the simple e ending—pronounced the same as Jessie—for boys, though the spellings sometimes cross gender lines.
  4. Million
    • Origin:

      English word name
    • Description:

      The most common of the -illion numerical names, which are rising up the ranks.
  5. Midas
    • Origin:

      Greek, meaning unknown
    • Description:

      The story of King Midas's Midas touch is a common cautionary tale, as he wished for everything he touched to turn to gold, only to regret it later. The associations with greed likely turn parents off of the name, but it combines two popular trends of mythological names and names that mean wealth. The nickname Mighty is a bonus.
  6. Odilon
    • Origin:

      French
    • Meaning:

      "wealth"
    • Description:

      A French masculine form of Odilia/Odile which ranked in the top 500 in France for most of the first two decades of the 20th century, but has since fallen out of use.
  7. Wealthy
    • Origin:

      English word name
    • Meaning:

      "prosperous, rich"
    • Description:

      Wealthy was used for girls in the late 19th and early 20th century, with a meaning that implied a wealth of blessings. Today, it's difficult to see Wealthy and not think cash, but luckily names that mean wealth are currently en vogue. We see it as a new unisex possibility that's likely to reemerge on the charts.
  8. Bonaventure
    • Origin:

      Latin
    • Meaning:

      "good fortune"
    • Description:

      One for the truly adventurous baby namers, or perhaps an unexpected middle name to liven up a more traditional first. But on trend short form Bo does make it feel a little more accessible.
  9. Alda
    • Origin:

      Feminine variation of Aldo, German, or Old Norse
    • Meaning:

      "old or wave"
    • Description:

      Alda's brother name Aldo has been a mainstay of the U.S. popularity chart for decades now, and the related Alden is soaring up as well. This version has never really caught on. (Maybe it's the association with Alan Alda: great actor, unlikely namesake for a little girl.) However, there is possible hope now that Alba and Alma are on the rise. Aida and Arden are more familiar alternatives.
  10. Otthild
    • Origin:

      German
    • Meaning:

      "prospers in battle"
    • Description:

      Wears long blonde braids, carries a spear, and sings duets with Brunhild. But variations Ottilie, Ottiline, or Ottoline are both unusual and chic.
  11. Jamaica
    • Origin:

      Native American place name
    • Meaning:

      "rich in springs"
    • Description:

      Among the least gimmicky, most appealing and colorful of all the names found in the atlas, Jamaica almost sings out the rhythms of the West Indies.
  12. Renny
    • Origin:

      Irish
    • Meaning:

      "little prosperous one"
    • Description:

      This name may be interpreted as an offbeat Anglicized form of the Gaelic Rathnait, though it could also be considered a diminutive of Renee, Renata, Lorenza, Lauren, Lorena, and similar. Influencers Bella and Dallin Lambert named their daughter Renny Lin in 2025, sister to Story.
  13. Wealthy
    • Origin:

      English word name
    • Meaning:

      "prosperous, rich"
    • Description:

      A rich possibility that fits in with today's rising names such as Cash, Currency, and Million, though we think a name meaning rich, regal, or blessed would be better. Historically, the name Wealthy was used to imply a wealth of blessings rather than money.
  14. Ventura
    • Origin:

      Spanish
    • Meaning:

      "good fortune"
    • Description:

      Ventura started life as a shortening of Bonaventura, Spanish for good luck or good fortune, but now stands on its own. It has a pleasant sound and the stylish 'V' ending, but Angelenos would associate it with the Valley's main stem--Ventura Boulevard, and others might think of Ace or Jesse Ventura.
  15. Moneta
    • Origin:

      Latin
    • Meaning:

      "to remind, instruct; alone, unique"
    • Description:

      Moneta was the name of two separate goddesses in Roman mythology. The first was the goddess of memory, equivalent to the Greek Mnemosyne, and the second was as an epithet of Juno, mother of the gods. The names of each goddess were derived from different sources.
  16. Amon
    • Origin:

      Hebrew, Arabic, Greek from Egyptian
    • Meaning:

      "the hidden one; invisible"
    • Description:

      In Egyptian mythology, Amon is a major god associated with creation and the air. He was later fused with the Sun god, Ra, and became Amun-Ra.
  17. Tashi
    • Origin:

      Tibetan
    • Meaning:

      "good fortune"
    • Description:

      Accessible and attractive Tibetan name used for both sexes.
  18. Eadlin
    • Origin:

      Anglo-Saxon
    • Meaning:

      "noble, wealth"
    • Description:

      Eadlin and its variants Eadlyn and Edelyn are uncommon in real life, but feel bang on-trend and shorten to the adorable vintage nickname Edie/Eadie. The name may derive from the Anglo-Saxon elements ead "wealth" or adal "noble".
  19. Lucretius
    • Origin:

      Latin clan name
    • Meaning:

      "wealth"
    • Description:

      Lucretius is the name of the Roman philosopher who invented Epicureanism. But even in these days of old Roman name revival, Lucretius sounds a bit long-white-beardish, though it can be enlivened with the nickname Luc.
  20. Yasir
    • Origin:

      Arabic
    • Meaning:

      "wealthy, prosperous"
    • Description:

      In this country, very much tied to PLO leader Arafat.
