Names That Mean Blue

This soulful musical name was introduced to the lexicon by Glee actor Darren Criss, who named his daughter Bluesy Belle in 2022. It's a saucy choice that owes something to Beyoncé's Blue, and something to the retro nickname Susie. For the daughter of a musician, Bluesy is a rare yet accessible name.

Shyam is one of the alternate names of Hindu God Krishna.

This poetic but sparkly sounding name is both an elaboration of the Finnish name Sini, and a name in its own right, meaning "bluebird".

A color name in two languages. As a Finnish word name, Sini is a fancy way to say "blue". In India, it means "white" or "fair".

Nilima represents blue, an important color in Hinduism and the hue of Gods such as Vishnu, Krishna, and Shiva.

A fresh nature name — Bluet is a dainty, low-growing plant with small, light blue flowers — that feels like a mix of jazzy word-name Blue and trendy surname Truett.

Azora is related to the English Azure, with both used as baby names these days. Azora, which sounds more like a name, was given to about 70 baby girls in the US last year, while Azure was given to 30 boys and 13 girls.

Sirje is a uniquely Estonian name of unconfirmed origins, although the story goes that it was created and offered up by Julius Mägiste, a linguist, in 1929. He derived it from the word sinisirje, meaning "blue-feathered" and tied to a mythical bird creature in the Kalevipoeg, Estonia's national epic. Eugen Kapp used Sirje for one of the characters in his 1945 opera Tasuleegid, which roughly translates to "The Flames of Fame."

A romantic elaboration of Blue that would work for a person of any gender.
