Latin Baby Names

4169 Latin names with researched meanings, U.S. popularity, and audio pronunciation on every page.

Latin is the quiet root system beneath an enormous share of the names we love — and that is exactly why Latin baby names feel so effortlessly timeless. They have been worn for two thousand years and still land as fresh, warm and beautiful today. If you want a name with real depth that nobody will stumble over, this is the richest well on the site.

Popular Latin Girl Names

The chart-toppers are Latin through and through: Olivia, Amelia, Isabella and Ava. For something softer and more romantic, Aurora, Luna, Violet and Lily are luminous picks, while Grace, Nora and Lucy stay sweetly classic.

Strong Latin Boy Names

Oliver, Lucas, James and Sebastian lead the field. For something with a little more swagger there is Roman, Julian, Santiago and Luca; and the short, confident Leo, Luke and Miles never miss.

Why Latin Names Never Date

Because they arrived in English centuries ago and simply never left. A Latin name has already survived every trend cycle there is — so it will not pin your child to the year they were born, and it will sound just as right at eighty as at eight.

Every name below links to its own page with a sourced meaning, U.S. popularity, famous bearers, and a clear audio pronunciation — so you can hear it before you choose.
