Thanks to the letter’s spring and spirit, girl names that start with Y are appearing more and more on the playground. The second to last letter of the alphabet often gets overlooked, as her next door neighbors X and Z are first stops for parents seeking something rare. The mighty Y is just as exotic as they are, however, and there are plenty of unique girl names that start with Y. Try out Yessenia and Yasmina for a frilly feminine feel or keep it short and sweet with little Yana.

Y names for girls aren’t too out there if you look a little closer. In fact, many baby girl names starting with Y are quite similar to more popular choices on the charts. Take Yasmin for example, a variant of Jasmine. There are also names like Yuliana and Yulia, twists on the mega-popular Juliana and Julia. There’s also Ysabel, a variant spelling of Isabel.

Several baby girl names that start with Y do appear in the Top 1000 like Yaretzi and Yareli, two spunky names with excitement and energy. Like other rare letters, girl names that start with Y are diamonds in the rough just waiting for the right person to let them sparkle.
