Peace Baby Names
314 Peace names with meanings, U.S. popularity, and audio pronunciation on every page.
Peace baby names are names that mean “peace,” “peaceful,” or “tranquil” in their language of origin — or that honor a symbol or figure long associated with peace. Parents drawn to this theme want a name that carries a calm, hopeful message every time it’s spoken, whether that meaning comes from Hebrew, Latin, Arabic, or a quiet garden bird.
Names that mean “peace” directly
Some names simply are the word for peace. Shalom and Shulem come straight from the Hebrew greeting, while Salem and Salem share that same root and work for either a daughter or a son. Amani and Amani carry “peace” from Arabic and Swahili, and Truce and Pax take the meaning literally from English and Latin.
“Frid” names: peace in disguise
Many familiar classics hide the old Germanic root frid, meaning peace. Frederick, Fred, Freddy, and Winifred all trace back to it, as do Jeffrey and Jefferson. Even Axel and Aksel descend from Absalom, “father of peace.”
Symbols and namesakes of peace
Irene was the Greek goddess of peace herself, and Paloma means “dove,” the universal peace symbol. Sulaiman and Shlomo honor King Solomon, whose very name means peace, while Damir carries a Slavic wish to “give peace.”
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.
