Searching for a Greek baby girl name? Whether you are giving a nod to your heritage or are just a fan of the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Greek baby names are rich with culture. From divine goddesses to girls who know how to have fun, here are a few fun sources of inspiration when searching for the perfect Greek name for your baby girl.

Baby Names from Greek Mythology

There’s no doubt that you are sure to hold your little princess in the highest regard, so perhaps a Greek goddesses may be the muse that you’re looking for! Names that descend from the top of Mount Olympus include Selene (the goddess of the moon), Aphrodite (the goddess of love), Artemis (the goddess of wild things), Athena (the goddess of wisdom), Demeter (the goddess of agriculture), and Hestia (the goddess of home and hearth). Another mythological name worth noting includes Persephone, the daughter of Demeter. Remember, these goddess names can be used as middle names, too, if you feel like they’re too unusual for your baby-to-be.

Resting On One’s Laurels

The name Laurel may be of Latin origin, but in ancient Greece, laurel wreaths were awarded to the winners of the Olympics and other competitions, making it a suitable moniker for your pea in the pod. If you want to stick to a true Greek name that will champion your cause, try Daphne (meaning the laurel) or Tienette (meaning crowned with laurel).

Sorority Names

Pay homage to your sorority days by using the letters of your alliance to hone in on the perfect combination of Greek baby girl names. For example, a member of Alpha Chi Omega could consider the monikers Alexis (meaning protector and helper of mankind) Calista (meaning the most beautiful one) Odessa (meaning a long journey) for their future sorority pledge. Or, Phi Sigma Rho sisters could contemplate the blend of Phoebe (meaning radiant, bright) Sapphire (meaning deep blue gemstone) Rhea (meaning a stream) for their tiny sorority buddy. You never know; letting your cute kid know how her name was inspired may encourage her to join the same sisterhood you belonged to when her college days are here!

Names from Greek virtues

The Greek culture is abundant with qualities that any parent would be proud to have their daughter hold. If beauty, virtue, or purity represents the blessings you hope your little lady will hold, consider names like Calixte, Callia, Callie, Calliope, or Memphis that mean beautiful. Or, try Agatha and Aretina which mean virtuous. And, Agnes, Candra, Catherine, Katharina, Kitty, Neysa, and Trina mean pure.

If you are looking for a more familiar Greek name, discover names like Adrianna (meaning rich, wealthy), Alannis (meaning from Atlanta), Alena (meaning pretty), Bellanca (meaning stronghold), Sophie (meaning wisdom), Teresa (meaning harvest gatherer), Tia (meaning princess), Vanessa (meaning butterfly), and Zoe (meaning life) when you check out our Greek baby names list.
