Indigenous Australian namesIndigenous, or Aboriginal baby names from Australia are simply... beautiful. Australian Kylie Minogue's first name means "boomerang." Which goes to show how well these names can work.As you'd expect, these Australian names contain many nature related meanings - the sea, the sky, plants and weather feature strongly. They're are not too exotic, either, so can be combined successfully with many more familiar middle names and surnames. Girls' namesStarting off with names referring to the moon, how about Loorea, Miah, Orana, or Alkina?There's Yindi meaning "sun" - or Alkira and Loila representing "sky"; and Yara - a "seagull." Weather names include the beautiful Amarinda, Mincarlie and Tallara which mean "rain"; and Camira and Leewana - "wind." Elanora suggests a home situated by the sea shore. Tathra, a seaside town in Australia means "beautiful country" - and Kiah comes from "the beautiful place." Boys' namesMore great possibilities here, with a few names from wildlife to add to the mix: Mullion is an "eagle" - Akama a "whale" and Banjora, "koala."You might like to consider Cobar referring to "burnt earth," Orad meaning "earth", Berrigan - "wattle", or Derain who is "from the mountains." Warrain simply "belongs to the sea." Let's finish with Nambur, a "tea tree", Taree - a "wild fig", Marron - a "leaf" and Burnu which simply means "tree."
