International baby names

Here's my selection of international baby names. Some of them may be familiar - others may be totally new.

Why choose a baby name from another country?

  • you may have family connections there
  • or maybe you've been to that part of the world...
  • or maybe you like the local culture or cuisine
  • or perhaps you just like the name!

Take your time
On each of these pages you will find not only names, but also a little information about each one. These names reflect the history and culture of each country. It's a fascinating topic.

For some countries, I have been able to provide recent top baby names. I've also added a little local flavor where appropriate!

What kinds of international baby names will you find?

I've generally picked names from areas close to my heart... Being from the UK myself, and having borne an Irish maiden name, I've started with Irish and Scottish suggestions.

Yet it's always nice to look at something new - and for some reason, Hawaiian and Aboriginal names from Australia appealed!
