When choosing a name for their baby, parents always pick one that echoes a word's positive meaning and holds a deep significance. Baby names meaning pure symbolize the purest relationship, such as a mother’s relationship with her children. Nothing can come close to the love a mom has for her children. It’s incomparable, inseparable, unconditional, and purest. Several societies throughout history have influenced names symbolizing purity and its related connotations. Also, these names are associated with other positive attributes and specific colors. For instance, in Western, African, and Middle Eastern cultures, virtues like purity, good luck, angels, equality, and peace are associated with white. Thus white is often preferred for clothing worn during religious ceremonies and pilgrimage. In India, the color blue is linked to purity and divinity. Therefore these cultures include names like Galatia, Candace, and Aravindh, which mean pure.

However, in Christianity, colors like crimson and purple are associated with purity because these dyes are sourced from precious pigments. In addition, these colors are also related to religious figures like saints, biblical characters, cardinals, and priests who are known for their virtuous lives.

However, in some other societies across the globe, names surrounding purity are inspired by rituals of baptism and virtues of innocence and honesty. For instance, in Japan, the names Junko and Junpei convey qualities of purity through virtues such as genuineness, sincerity, and truth. Thus, Japanese names associated with purity reflect the cultural emphasis on being authentic. Therefore, these names are typically bestowed upon the child after learning their cultural and mythological associations with purity. In modern times, purity continues to be symbolized differently in different cultures, with their underlying connotations remaining the same. Peruse at our extensive collection of baby names meaning pure below to choose what best suits your little angel.
