Branching out to exotic girl names is incredibly rewarding. Every name has its own meaning, and many exotic picks have a beautiful sound. Whether you love fancy French finds or want joyful Japanese names, we’ve compiled these worldly picks in one place!
As we venture into exotic girl names, let’s stop in Europe first where you’ll find a dash of old-world charm in picks like Veleda and Saskia. If you head south into Africa, you’ll find strong, energizing names including Johari and Arafa. The Middle East offers up serene sweethearts like Naima and Iman, while Asia packs such delights as Qiao and Tomoka. These are just some of the places you’ll find exotic girl names. If you turn to the origins of your ancestors, you might find your new favorite!
One of the best things about exotic girl names is their meanings. They typically extend beyond a simple meaning like “purity,” as seen in the French name Fayetta, meaning “little fairy.” Along the same lines you’ll find Kamiko meaning “little goddess” and Nariko meaning “gentle child.” These three are simply adorable on your little one by meaning alone. For bolder backstories, check out Maylin meaning “beautiful jade,” while Timea means “honoring God.”
Outside of meanings, exotic girl names are simply stunning in sound. Because they’re not heard as often, these unexpected beauties capture your attention. There are darlings like Cinnia and Akosia that fit in with the mega-popular -ia suffix trend, as well as melodic picks like Neliah and Sadira. You can find many names that mirror more popular names stateside like Ava’s rhyming friend Nava and Adelina, a name similar to Adeline and Addison.
Exotic girl names deserve more attention. They’re simply too beautiful not to love. With exotic girl names, you never know what gorgeous name you’ll find next!
