Legend of Zelda Baby Names

Of the names derived from titles, this is one of the least obvious (unless you are of German extraction). Chancellor also has the attraction of offering the exciting - and very on-trend - nickname Chance.

What's Cia short for? Cynthia or most any other C-name. Stylish in its sleek Mia-Nia minimalist feel, but may remind some of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Cole -- a short name that embodies a lot of richness and depth -- has long been associated with the great songwriter Cole Porter. It's quite popular in Scotland.

Eldin is a masculine name with multiple cultural origins. In Arabic traditions, it means 'nobility of faith' or 'of the religion,' often appearing as part of longer names. In Germanic contexts, it may relate to 'old friend' or derive from elements meaning 'elder tree.' The name has historical usage throughout the Balkans, Middle East, and Northern Europe, giving it cross-cultural appeal. While never extremely common in English-speaking countries, Eldin has maintained a steady presence, particularly in multicultural communities. The name's brevity and straightforward pronunciation make it accessible, while its relative rarity offers distinctiveness. Eldin has seen modest increases in usage in recent decades as parents seek names with international resonance and historical depth. Its combination of strength and gentleness in sound makes it versatile for various personalities.

Fairy's reputation as a slur directed at gay men takes it off the table as a baby name option. Go with Pixie or Faye instead.

Faron, a soft and gentle name, has a diverse group of references. There was the medieval Saint Faron, Bishop of Meaux (who has given his name to a cheese); Faron Young, a colorful midcentury country singer known as The Hillbilly Heartthrob, and a character from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Ganon is a name of uncertain origin, though it may be related to the Irish surname Gannon, derived from the Gaelic 'O Ganain' meaning 'descendant of Ganan.' The name gained prominence in popular culture through the character Ganon (or Ganondorf), the primary antagonist in Nintendo's 'The Legend of Zelda' video game series. This association has given the name a connotation of power and mystique. While uncommon as a given name, Ganon has seen modest usage among parents who appreciate its strong sound and gaming connection. The name has a distinctive quality with its short, two-syllable structure and strong consonant sounds.

Short for Brunhilda, the operatic Valkyrie of Teutonic legend, Hilda still has not quite shaken off that image that image. Though with the resurgence of Matilda, she might just have a bit of a comeback.

Three syllables in only four letters is quite a feat, but that's exactly what you get with Ilia, a versatile, unisex option with various origins. It could derive from the Greek Iliana, which could denote someone from Illium, or it could be a feminine form of Ilian, a form of Elijah. Alternatively, it is a Basque form of Julia, or a Bulgarian feminine form of Ilya, with again links back to Elijah. Currently a gender neutral option in the US, it may be exclusively masculine elsewhere.
