Strength Baby Names
404 Strength names with meanings, U.S. popularity, and audio pronunciation on every page.
Strength baby names are names whose meanings point straight at power, courage, or resilience — a Hebrew name promising “God is my strength,” a Norse word for bear, or a Germanic name meaning “mighty in battle.” Parents reach for them as a quiet blessing: a wish that their child grow up steady, capable, and hard to knock down.
Where the meaning comes from
Many strength names trace back to Hebrew, where names built on the root for “God” and “strength” produced classics like Gabriel. Others come from Old Norse, like Bjorn, meaning “bear,” one of nature’s oldest symbols of power.
Strength baby names for boys
Samson is the strength name, borrowed directly from the biblical strongman. Ezekiel, Boaz, and Hezekiah carry similar Old Testament weight, promising strength drawn from something greater than the boy himself. Garrett and Kenzo round things out with spear-strong and sturdy meanings of their own.
Strength baby names for girls
Matilda and Bridget are two of the most storied strength names for girls, while Valencia carries the word “strength” right in its Latin root. The Gabriel family offers plenty of softer options too — Gabriella, Gabriela, Gabrielle, Briella, and Brielle all carry the same “God is my strength” meaning.
Nicknames that keep the strength
If the full name feels like a lot for a baby, its nickname carries the same meaning in a smaller package: Tilly and Mattie shorten Matilda, while Bria echoes the Gabriel names in a single easy syllable.
