When it comes to baby names, Greek mythology can be a wonderful source of inspiration. Names like Aphrodite and Calliope instill your baby with strength, confidence, and tradition. But you don't have to look in Greek literature for name ideas in known deities and other mythological creatures. Indeed, there are numerous names in the Greek tradition that are more understated but still magnificent. Take a look at our suggestions below; one of them might be ideal for your little goddess.
Anastasia This traditional name, which means "resurrection," is making a comeback. You could call her Natasha or Stacia instead of the more common Ana.
Calista A beautiful name for a beautiful girl. It means… wait: “the most beautiful”. Appropriate, no?
Delfina . If you're looking for a flower name but want something other than Rose or Violet, consider this one, inspired by the snowdrop-like flower, delphinium. The name means "of Delphi, Greece", an ancient city that the Greeks believed to be the womb of the earth.
Evangeline The names Eve, Evelyn, Ava and the like are super trendy, but this one, while increasing in popularity, is still a bit more unique. It is a form of Evangelina, which means "bearer of good news." And, Eva would be the cutest nickname.
Helena Helen, which means "light", is perhaps one of the best known Greek names. Adding an "-a" at the end makes it a bit more feminine.
Ismena, do you think your new girl has an old soul? Consider this lovely name, which translates as "wise."
