Female Names from the Star Wars Universe

Heroes, villains, and everything in between! Some of these names are somewhat on the "extremely odd" side, such as Yaddle or Greeata. Others, the association is... less than the best (Yarna and Oola - dancing girls). Regardless of your opinion on any of these, this is an extensive list of the female names of the Star Wars universe. (Underneath the names, in grey, are either the surname of the person, or if they have no other name, an explanation of who they are in parentheses.)
  1. Adi
    • Description:

      Adi is a versatile unisex name with rich multicultural origins, though primarily used for girls in Western contexts. In Sanskrit, Adi means 'first' or 'beginning,' while in Hebrew it can mean 'ornament' or 'jewel.' The name also appears in Indonesian, Germanic traditions, and as a nickname for names like Adelaide or Adina. Its brevity and international recognition make it appealing across cultural boundaries. Adi's simplicity belies its depth of meaning and cultural significance, particularly in Hindu tradition where 'Adi' refers to the primordial or first principle. The name's short, melodic sound with soft consonants gives it a gentle yet distinct quality. For parents seeking a minimalist name with global appeal and spiritual undertones, Adi offers elegant simplicity.
  2. Aayla
    • Ahsoka
      • Apailana
        • Asajj
          • Aurra
            • Barriss
              • Beru
                • Bo-Katan
                  • Cassie
                    • Origin:

                      Diminutive of Cassandra
                    • Meaning:

                      "prophetess"
                    • Description:

                      Though not much in use, still retains a cozy Little House on the Prairie-type pioneer feel.
                  • Cato
                    • Origin:

                      Dutch diminutive of Catharina
                    • Description:

                      Cato may have risen to new prominence in the English speaking world as an ancient Roman boys' name, popularized by The Hunger Games. But in the Netherlands, it's most widely used as a short form for Catharina and other forms of Katherine, ranking close to the Top 100, higher than any formal variation of the name. Cato for a girl is a cute idea and a fresh way to shorten the ubiquitous Catherine.
                  • Depa
                    • Dormé
                      • Greeata
                        • Halle
                          • Origin:

                            Modern invented name or diminutive of Harald, English or Norse
                          • Meaning:

                            "Thor's stone"
                          • Description:

                            Until the beautiful actress Halle Berry inspired hundreds of parents to emulate her name, it was the diminutive Swedish families used for their sons christened Harald. Now, in a complete turnaround, it couldn't be more feminine. It is worth noting, however, that its popularity has fallen dramatically since 2002 when it reached a high of 316.
                        • Hera
                          • Origin:

                            Greek
                          • Meaning:

                            "protectress"
                          • Description:

                            She was queen of the Greek gods, both sister and wife to Zeus, but the name of her Roman counterpart Juno has become much more fashionable these days. That said, we think Hera has possibilities today too, as so many ancient goddess names rise to prominence.
                        • Jocasta
                          • Origin:

                            Greek, meaning unknown
                          • Description:

                            Jocasta is a mythological name fashionably used in England, but mostly ignored here. She was the mother of Oedipus, King of Thebes, whom he (oops) unwittingly married. If you can ignore that small error in judgment, you'll find an interesting and attractive J name that's neither overused nor terminally dated.
                        • Karina
                          • Origin:

                            Scandinavian, German, Polish, and Russian variation of Carina
                          • Description:

                            This sweet and loving name, favored in recent years by a mix of Hispanic-American parents and Bob Dylan fans, was chosen for her daughter by TV actress Melina Kanakaredes.
                        • Kiera
                          • Origin:

                            Irish
                          • Meaning:

                            "little dark one"
                          • Description:

                            Kiera entered the American popularity list in 1988, though it lags behind the alternate spelling Keira, largely due to the fame of actress Keira Knightley.
