317 Girl Names That Start With I (with Meanings and Popularity)

Girl names that start with I have been ruled by Isabella and her cousins for the past couple decades, but the Isabels aren't the only I names worth consideration.

Along with Isabella, girl names starting with I that rank in the US Top 200 include Ivy, Iris, and Isla. Inès is the top I name for girls in France (joined by Inaya, Iris, and spelling variant Ines in France's Top 100), Isa is a Top 50 pick in The Netherlands, while Irene and Iria rank in Spain's Top 100 baby girl names.

If uncommon I-starting girl names are more your style, Ida is certainly due a comeback, and Nordic favorite Ingrid is also finding new fans in the US today. Even more unique I girl names that we love include intriguing international options like Ivalo, Isabeau, Ismay, Idony, and Ianthe. More contemporary choices include Indigo and Ireland.

Here, our full selection of girl names that start with I, ordered by their current popularity on Nameberry.
