Hello everyone, I hope you’re having a lovely morning, afternoon, or evening! As a writer who loves nature and loves planning ahead for when I have kids, I thought it’d be a fun idea to create a list of nature-inspired names! Now, these don’t have to just be used for characters; you could even name your pet goldfish one of these names.
For your convenience (and aesthetics), I’ve included a downloadable graphic for you to save to your device and check anytime. Enjoy!
P.S. I found all these name’s meanings on www.babynames.com, which is a great resource for parents, writers, and anyone else who wants to name anything (I don’t judge)
1 || Fiorella
Italian
“Little Flower”
NOTE: this is one of my personal favorites; you can even have a nickname be “Ella,” “Ellie,” or even “Fifi.”
2 || Brook / Brooke
English
“Small Stream”
NOTE: you can also use “Brooks” which means “From The Brook”
3 || Willow
English
“From The Willow Grove”
NOTE: this could also just refer to a willow tree as the meaning.
4 || Selene
Greek
“Moon”
5 || Briar
English
“Shrub; Small Tree”
6 || Fleur
French
“Flower”
7 || Violet / Violette
English
“Purple/Blue Flower”
8 || Isla
Scottish
“Island”
9 || Autumn
Latin
“Fall Season”
10 || Aspen / Aspyn
American
“Quaking Tree”
NOTE: there are no search results on http://www.babynames.com for “Aspyn,” but I find it to mean just the same thing as “Aspen” but with a different spelling.
11 || Alder
English
“Referring To The Alder Tree”
NOTE: I couldn’t find this on http://www.babynames.com, but I looked it up and, although it has a few origins and, therefore, meanings, I chose the origin/meaning that related to nature.
12 || River
English
“Stream Of Water That Flows To The Sea”
13 || Flint
English
“Flint Rock”
14 || Forest / Forrest
English
“Of The Woods” or “From The Woods”
15 || Orion
Greek
“Mountain Dweller”
NOTE: you could also have this refer to the constellation “Orion,” which comes from the character, Orion, a hunter from Greek mythology.
16 || Sage / Saige
English
“Herb”
NOTE: there are no search results for “Saige,” but, again, I see it as just a different spelling of “Sage,” meaning the same thing.
17 || Rowan
English
“From The Rowan Tree”
18 || Clove
German
“Spice”
19 || Taryn
American
“Of The Earth”
20 || Mato
