About Refuge

In tune with Harbor, Haven, Truce, Shepherd, and Shiloh, Refuge is a bold name choice relating to safety and protection from danger. While it is unlikely to catch on in the way other peaceful names have, Refuge has been spotted in birth announcements on social media.

Refuge for girls

Peaceful names associated with safety, such as Harbor, Haven, Truce, and Cove, have been on the rise in the 2020s, and now, this unlikely option has joined the name-bank. Referring to a place or situation that provides safety and shelter, it can also relate to someone who acts as a protector or to someone fleeing (or returning) from danger.

While we're not sure we can see it totally catching on, it has been spotted on social media birth announcements. Nickname Rue, maybe?

Pronounced REF-yooj.
