Mystical Names

Mystical names summon figures of mythology and legend, of magic and mystery. The mystical names here hail from a range of different cultures and stories. Some names, such as Lilith and Phoenix, remain strongly tied to their myth of origin. Others, like Jason and Maya, are so far removed that many may be unaware they are mythological names.

Along with Jason and Maya, other mystical names in the US Top 1000 include Bodhi, Cassandra, Daphne, Finn, Gabriel, Maya, Thalia, and Veda. Baby names with general ties to mysticism and mythology include Hero, Rune, Saga, and Serendipity.

Here, our collection of mystical baby names. For even more mystic names, check out our lists of Mythology Girl Names and Mythology Boy Names.
