French inspired baby names
Looking for a baby name with a bit of flair? Take some inspiration from the French with these lovely baby names that span from traditional to très chic.
1). Hugo. We love this name! Hugo, which means “intelligent,” was initially a popular surname, but has now been adapted into a first name and it is just gorgeous.
2). Amélie. Amélie is a French variant of the English name Emily, meaning “hardworking” and it is really rather beautiful.
3). Chloé. This name, which comes from the Greek goddess of agriculture, means “green herb.” Today, it’s widely known as the name of a Parisian designer brand, but is would also be a lovely name for your daughter.
4). Louis. Louis (pronounced loo-ee) means “famous in war”—which may be why it’s been so popular among French kings, and if it is good enough for royalty, it’s good enough for us.
5). Madeline. This name is the French version of the name Magdalene, which is derived from the Aramaic word “magdala,” meaning “elevated,” “great” and “magnificent” and it is so cute.
6). Laurent. The French version of Lawrence, this name means “from the place of the laurel trees.” This could be the perfect name for your baby if you’re into your fashion, think Yves Saint Laurent!
