Just imagine the things your daughter could go on to achieve if you name your baby girl after a heroine from Greek mythology.
Opt for one of the popular Greek names for girls and you can do just that, with choices coming straight out of the Greek history books. Or if you are of Greek heritage you may wish to select a traditional Greek name for a girl, perhaps one that has been handed down through the family.
The world has come to know and treasure Greek baby names through great works of literature coming out of the country. If Aphrodite is too far-out there but you fancy a sea-inspired name, take a look at these ocean inspired names for girls. If you love the meaning behind the name Celene (moon) but not the name itself check out our moon-related baby name list for some more inspiration. Opting for Greek baby names doesn't have to mean naming them after a Greek goddess, though names which honour Greek heroines are having something of a moment right now. Greek-inspired girls' names embrace the traditional (Aikaterini), the mythical (Olympia) as well as the more well known (Zoe).
