Boy names that mean light aren’t all that common, but they’re amazing picks to consider for your son. Perfect for the light of one’s life, they inspire and enlighten. Let’s shine a spotlight on some standouts and see what incredible names we can uncover together.
As we’ve mentioned, boy names that mean light are rare, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t stylish. Luciano is one we see with endless growth potential on the baby name charts. He’s grand yet approachable, and he has a fashionable feel. If you’d like something a little shorter, check out his variant, Lucian. For something Biblical, there’s Abner, an uncommon moniker that works well with his more common friends, Ezra and Elijah. There are light-associated word name finds too, like Beacon and Flash. Both feel right at home on an adventurous baby boy and we love their energy.
Light itself inspires hope, and boy names with the meaning are no different. They are inspirational at their core, with enviable meanings plentiful. Lucca’s “bringer of light” is precious on the newest member of your family, similar to Uriel’s “angel of light.” Urijah is another uplifting pick, with his translation of “my light is Jehovah” also having spiritual ties. Many other positive meanings are waiting for you.
Boy names that mean light come from around the world, allowing you to honor our heritage if you’d like. Kiran is an Indian pick meaning “beam of light” that we see catching on with ease. You only have to travel a little further to find Guang in China and Noor, an Arabic all-star. Roshan is a Persian prince, meaning “daylight,” while Luz is a Spanish sweetheart.
Boy names meaning light are some of our favorites, and we hope that you find that they’re yours, too.
