Disney is a beloved part of childhood for many. With that in mind, it’s not a surprise that Disney princess names continue to enchant parents with their beauty and nostalgia. Each name invokes its own emotion, from elegance to bravery. With such a diverse offering, everyone has a Disney princess name to match their own style.

There are only twelve official Disney princesses, despite the franchise containing many crowned cuties in its collection. The Disney princess names include the beloved Snow White, whose snowy start makes for a darling yet daring name. With the rise in word names, Snow is certainly usable. Mulan and Moana are on the border of usability, as their movies are still fresh in people’s minds. While Tiana and Merida are also modern, they offer more flexibility. On the flip side, Pocahontas, Rapunzel, and Cinderella may be a bit too tied to their princess roots to work in the classroom. This leaves Jasmine, Ariel, Belle, and Aurora as your best bets for modern wear. Each are popular in their own right and aren’t always immediately linked to their Disney princess connection.

Unofficial Disney princess names are a goldmine of beauty. These include traditional princesses and unorthodox ones, but all make for darling Disney princess names in our book. Everyone knows Frozen’s Anna and Elsa, but do you remember Arista and Attina? They’re just two of Ariel’s sisters’ names, but they’re also princesses. They have an edgy sound with water princess vibes, and we’d love to see them more often. You can also find vintage-sounding Disney princess names, like Alice from Alice in Wonderland (who may not technically be a princess, but she’s still a strong female lead) and Minnie, as in Minnie Mouse.

Whether you opt for traditional Disney princess names or seek something else, we have them here for you to explore.
