Girl Baby Names and Meanings

By: Mr. Miyagi

Are you looking for a name for your new baby? If so, then you should know a little something about baby girl names and the meaning behind them. You may be a little surprised to learn the meaning of some of these names and it may also help you decide which one to choose if you know where the name originally came from.

Here are a few examples of names and their meanings that can be found at the top of the most popular girl baby name list that can help give you an idea of what to look for. Emma is one of the top choices for baby girl names. It originated from Germany and it means all containing, whole or being universal.

Emily is another popular girl name that means to equal or to exceed another, rival or imitating. It was originally a Latin name. The Gaelic language gave us Kaitlyn meaning pure and Sophia means wisdom and originally was a Greek name.

Olivia has two origins. One is the English origin and its meaning is Elf army. The other is of Latin origin and its meaning is olive, which is known to be a symbol of peace. There are many names that have two origins with different meanings and some have more than one origin with the same meaning.

In the past, the origin and meaning of a name was more significant than it is today. Many people looked at this very closely. Even though the meaning of names are not as important as they once were, it can still be beneficial to know the origin and meaning behind the name you choose for your baby.

Knowing where a name came from and the meaning of the names could help you make a decision when you are stuck between two names that you really love. You may really like the meaning of one of the names while you simply hate the meaning of the other one.

Not only can having this information help you choose a name, it is just plain interesting to know what a name means and where it came for. Take a few minutes and look up your name to see if it reflects your personality.

It is a good idea to do a little research for the origin and meaning of names when you are searching for the right girl baby name for your newborn. It can be the factor that helps you make that final decision.
