977 Greek Baby Girl Names With Meanings

Greece has a rich and colorful history dating back thousands of years. Thus, it is no surprise that Greek baby girl names are inspired by the country’s tradition and culture.

The land's mythology is one of the greatest influences on Greek baby girl names. Names of gods and goddesses, nymphs, mythological figures, and characteristics embodying their qualities are popular choices for baby girls. For example, names like Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite, Apollonia, Ariadne, Arete, Atalanta, Electra, Helen, Hermione, and Calliope are commonly used for girls.

Ancient literature also serves as an inspiration for naming girls. Penelope from Homer’s “Odyssey” is a timeless classic, while Andromeda and Circe are also women from Greek mythology. As Greek mythology and literature are deeply intertwined, many names overlap both categories. Historical names such as Alexandra, Alexis, and Leda are also popular among parents.

Many Greek names have deep etymological roots and convey beautiful meanings. For instance, Sophia, Agatha, Annis, and Xenia, are names with Greek roots and wonderful meanings.

Some parents prefer to name their daughters in the traditions and cultures of their families. The Greek Orthodox Church has several names that hold special importance. Names such as Anastasia, meaning resurrection, Katerina, meaning pure, and Maria, meaning beloved, are preferred by new parents.

Another source of inspiration for Greek baby girl names is the nature and geography of the country. Greece is known for its breathtaking landscapes and its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea. These aspects of nature make their way into baby girl names as well. Thalassa is a girl’s name that means ‘sea’ or ‘the Mediterranean Sea.’ Nefeli means ‘cloud.’ These names reflect the natural beauty in and around this country.

So, whether you are looking for a mythological name or a modern one, we have it all. Continue reading this post as we present enchanting Greek baby girl names with their meanings. Scroll down and pick your favorite name for your adorable little princess.
