Nature names for girls are an ever larger and more diverse category. Included under nature names are flower names, botanical names, water and earth names, animal names and names that come from the sky.
Nature names are not new for baby girls: Flower names such as Rose and Lily have been used for centuries. And many of the most classic girl names, such as Margaret which means daisy and Esther meaning star, have meanings rooted in nature, though the focus of this list is names drawn directly from nature versus names with secret nature meanings.
What is new is the variety and range of nature names used today for baby girls. One trending category is bird names such as Wren and Birdie. Water names such as Ocean and River are also popular. And names drawn from herbs and trees, such as Sage and Willow, are becoming modern classics.
The most popular nature names for girls in the US are Olivia, which means olive, and Luna meaning moon. Along with Luna, Nameberry visitors love sky name Aurora along with flower names Iris and Violet, fruit name Clementine, and unisex ocean name Kai.
Nature names appeal to parents who love the outdoors and care about the green movement, of course. But they also interest namers looking for gender-neutral names for their babies or themselves, people who love unique modern names, and those who embrace the brave new world of word names.
Here are hundreds of nature names for girls, ordered by their current popularity on Nameberry.
