About this list

Baby names that start with M have moved beyond midcentury classics Mary and Michael to more modern choices, the most popular of which are Mia and Mateo. Mia’s success is largely based upon its streamlined image and multicultural appeal, while Mateo is an international favorite that has usurped the English version, Matthew.

Along with Mia, other girl names beginning with M in the US Top 150 include Mila, Madison, Maya, Madelyn, Melody, Maeve, and Magnolia. As well as Mateo and Matthew, other boy names starting with M in the US Top 150 include Mason, Michael, Maverick, Miles, Micah, and Milo.

Rare M names with international origins we strongly endorse include the Welsh Macsen, French Marais, Japanese Mika, and Italian Marcella. Other unique names with the M initial include vintage charmers Maude and Mamie and contemporary choices such as Maxfield, Marigold, and Marlowe — for girls or boys.
