Goddess Baby Names

113 Goddess names with meanings, U.S. popularity, and audio pronunciation on every page.

Goddess baby names draw on the powerful female deities of world mythology — moon goddesses, harvest goddesses, queens of the underworld and guardians of the sea. Parents choose them for a name that feels both ancient and strong, carrying a built-in story of power, wisdom or grace.

Greek and Roman goddesses

The classical pantheon gives us some of the most enduring choices: Selene, goddess of the moon, Artemis, goddess of the hunt, and Persephone, queen of spring and the underworld. Juno and Demeter bring a regal, earthy warmth of their own.

Goddesses of the Hindu tradition

Devi and Parvati honor the divine feminine at the heart of Hindu worship, while Saanvi, Aadhya and Ishani are beloved, modern-sounding names rooted in the same tradition.

Goddesses from around the world

Beyond Greece and India, mythology offers Isis from Egypt, Freja from Norse legend, Yemaya and Oya from Yoruba tradition, and Ixchel from Maya myth — each carrying its own distinct sound and story.

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.
