The beautiful spring weather we've been enjoying lately has had us thinking about all of the gorgeous words we associate with spring that would make awesome baby names. Spring brings to mind flowers and trees and gorgeous colors, and there are so many lovely words inspired by everyone's favorite season.
Spring is a time of rebirth and fresh starts, which is so symbolic of pregnancy and new babies that it couldn't be more fitting for baby name inspiration. So if you're on the hunt for the perfect baby name, you should definitely check out these spring-inspired baby names.
Chloe
Chloe is a beautiful name that's quite popular, but you might not have realized that it means "green, verdant" and is associated with the Greek goddess of agriculture and fertility. How cool is that?
Maxwell
We never would have guessed it, but the name Maxwell means "spring," as in the body of water, in Old English. It was given to people who lived near Maccus' spring, also known as the stream of Maccus.
Juniper
The name Juniper is just as gorgeous as the evergreen shrub it comes from. The name is derived from the Latin word, juniperus, which means "youth producing" or "evergreen." It's so lovely, and it's actually considered a unisex name.
Rain
Spring brings longer days and more sunshine, but it also brings plenty of rain, which produces the abundance of flowers and lush grasses the season is known for. We love the name Rain for a boy or a girl.
Fern
Fern is such a pretty name that will always make us think of spring hikes in the woods. It refers to the beautiful green plant that unfurls during the spring months. Ferns are thought to signify "magic, fascination, and sincerity."
Blossom
Blossom is such a pretty name and it's quite unique too. It, of course, can refer to an actual flower blossom. It's derived from Old English, and means "a cluster of flowers," or "to thrive, flourish."
Aries
Many people born in the spring months of March and April are born under the Zodiac sign Aries, which also makes for a really cool sounding name. Aries means "ram," and it can be used for either a boy or a girl.
Freya
Freya is such a pretty name for a girl, especially one born in spring. It has Norse origins and is believed to have been the name of the goddess of springtime or goddess of fertility in Norse mythology.
Linden
The name Linden is a very handsome and strong name for a boy. It comes from the Linden tree, which actually blossoms in the springtime. The tree has a deep green color and is typically quite lush and full.
Meadow
Meadow is such a pretty spring-inspired name for a baby girl. A meadow is, of course, a large open field of grass, but it can also refer to a meadow of flowers. Either way, the association with springtime is strong.
Owen
Owen is an awesome name, and it actually has several meanings, one of which is "lamb" or "lamb of spring." The name is most often thought to be of Welsh or Gaelic origin and is quite popular in the U.S.
Gardner
The name Gardner was originally a surname for people who, of course, worked in gardens, but we think it makes such a cool first name. Gardening almost always happens during the spring season, so there's definitely a connection.
Petal
Petal would make such a gorgeous baby name. It's quite unique and is obviously quite closely associated with flowers, which nearly the entire world associates with the spring season. It sounds so lovely and instantly makes us think of beauty.
Sunny
The name Sunny has always been a cute choice for a boy. It's classic but still quite fun, and we definitely think it's an appropriate choice for a spring baby. It means "sunshine, cheerful," which is such a sweet thing to name your son or daughter.
Bradley
The name Bradley has English origins, and it comes from the Old English words brad, which means "broad," and lēah, which means "wood, clearing, meadow." It's definitely a great choice for a spring-inspired name that is still quite traditional.
Maia
The name Maia is absolutely gorgeous, and we had no idea that it actually refers to the "goddess of spring growth" or "Earth goddess" in Roman mythology. It's actually where the month May gets its name.
Neo
You might be thinking of Neo from The Matrix, which just adds to the fact that this name is a cool one. It actually comes from the Greek word for "new," and since spring makes us think of all things new, it definitely qualifies as spring-inspired.
Anastasia
Anastasia is such a pretty name that make a lot of us think of Disney or Russian royalty. The name is Greek though, and it means "resurrection," and as we all know, spring is considered a time of resurrection.
Nova
Like Neo for boys, the name Nova means "new" in Latin. Interestingly, in the Hopi language, it means "chases butterfly," which is pretty cool, since we also associate butterflies with the springtime.
Jorah
The name Jorah has Hebrew origins and comes from the Bible. It means "early rain," which definitely makes us think of spring and all of the April rain showers. While it's most commonly used as a boy name, it can be used for girls as well.
