Strong Girl Names

Strong girl names have a new appeal for many parents, who may believe more now than in the past on the importance of strength for their daughters as well as their sons. While there are fewer girl names than boy names meaning strong, powerful, or brave, there are some excellent choices for your strong baby girl.

Girl names meaning strong, powerful, or brave can be long and traditionally feminine, like Gabriella or Valentina, or short and gender-neutral, like Drew or Casey. Which is to say, you don't have to choose a masculine name to confer power on a baby girl; name meanings such as power and strength are separate from any conventional gender identities attached to names.
