This page was built to gather Latin girl names that mean snow, but the twelve names on file here tell a different, richer story — one about brightness, worth, and virtue instead of frost or winter.

Rather than force a snowy meaning onto names that don't carry one, we'd rather show you exactly what each name does mean, so you can decide honestly whether it fits the daughter you're picturing.

Why these aren't Latin girl names that mean snow, and what they mean instead

Names like Antonella and Antonia both trace to the Roman gens Antonia and are traditionally read as 'priceless,' not wintry at all. Clarissa comes closest to snow's imagery, since it means 'bright' and 'clear' — the same clarity you'd see in fresh light, even if the word itself has nothing to do with weather.

The real range: virtue, victory, and joy

Veronica means 'she who brings victory,' Justice and Justyce both carry the Latin justitia, 'fairness,' and Letty descends from laetitia, meaning 'joy.' Alicia means 'noble,' and Cassia names a fragrant spice plant — a reminder that Latin names lean toward character and nature, not climate.

Frequently Asked

Are there any true Latin girl names that mean snow on this list?

No. None of the twelve names here — including Antonella, Veronica, and Clarissa — carry a documented snow meaning; their real meanings range from 'priceless' to 'bright' to 'joy.'

Which name here comes closest to a snow-like meaning?

Clarissa, meaning 'bright' and 'clear,' is the nearest match in feeling, even though it isn't literally a snow name.

What should I search for instead if snow is my priority?

Look specifically for names built on Latin roots like nix or niveus, which are true snow words — none of the names cataloged on this page use them.

Is Antonia related to Antonella?

Yes — Antonia and Antonella both descend from the Roman family name Antonius and share the 'priceless' meaning.
