Truth Baby Names

48 Truth names with meanings, U.S. popularity, and audio pronunciation on every page.

Truth baby names are drawn from words and goddesses that cultures around the world have used to name honesty itself. Parents drawn to this theme want something that states its meaning plainly, like Vera or Truth. What unites them is integrity as identity — a wish that a child grow into someone whose word can be trusted.

Names that mean “truth,” plainly

Truth works as easily for a boy as Truth does for a girl, while Truly and Tru soften it. Verity traces to the Latin verus, “true,” the same root as Vera.

Goddesses of truth

Aletheia was the Greek goddess of truth, and her name survives in the gentler Alethea. In Egypt, Maat was the goddess of truth, order and balance.

Truth in world languages

Emet and Amitai draw on the Hebrew word for truth, Farouk and Siddiq mean truthful in Arabic, and Makoto means sincerity in Japanese.
