Mythological Names

Mythological names come from myths and legends around the world. Deities of Greek and Roman lore have inspired some of the top baby names in the US today, including choices such as Luna and Penelope for girls, Atlas and Apollo for boys. As this trend has progressed, parents have started looking for mythology baby names from other cultures, such as Norse, Celtic, Hindu, and African traditions. Along with Luna, other mythological names for girls in the US Top 1000 include Maeve, Freya, Aurora, and Athena. In addition to Atlas, other mythological names for boys in the US Top 1000 include Arthur, Orion, Tristan, and Odin.
