The moon inspires awe, so it’s no wonder boy names that mean moon hold a special place in our hearts. Not only is the beacon of light in the night sky beautiful to look at, but it’s a mighty natural force. The moon affects everything from tides to mass animal migrations. Capturing its power and beauty in a name is incredible. Let’s meet some boy names that mean moon.
Names that mean moon aren’t super common for boys. For fans of rare monikers, this isn’t a problem at all. Moon is the most obvious moon-related name. A word name, he’s certainly unique. Kamari is one of our favorite moon names for boys. Hailing from Arabic origins, he’s not very popular stateside, but he fits in well with the top 100 names. His Sanskrit friend Yamir falls into the same versatile category and is close to more common names like Amir and Omar. There’s also Jericho, a Biblical pick meaning “city of the moon,” which is epically cool.
Another way to find great male moon names is to study other moons in our galaxy like Callisto. Worn by one of Jupiter’s many moons, this Greek great is more common for girls today but still super wearable for boys. If we rocket over to the planet Uranus, you’ll find epic male moon names like Umbriel, Puck, and Oberon. Over on Neptune, its moon Triton is powerful in space and here on earth, as he’s also a Greek demigod of the sea.
Boy names meaning moon are super hard to come by, but if you consider related meanings, you’ll find a treasure trove. Some monikers might not translate to moon exactly but are close enough to obtain a similar vibe, such as Vesper, meaning “evening star.” See Delano, meaning “nighttime,” and Stellan, meaning “star.” The darling Astin means “starlike,” while Otieno means “born at night.”
Hopefully, a special pick from our list of boy names that mean moon shines brightly to you.
