Congratulations on your new shelled friend. We’ve wrangled up some epic girl turtle names for your consideration. Hopefully, one will be the perfect fit for your new pet.
Cute girl turtle names are perennial favorites, particularly those inspired by characters like Ariel. This mermaid moniker for sure fits a water turtle. There’s also Venus from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Gamera for a scary-cute vibe, as in the Japanese monster character. Other favorite cute girl turtle names resemble the real-life Top 10 list of baby girls, including contenders like Olivia, Ava, and Emma.
Some pet parents prefer funny girl turtle names. These typically contain a reference to shells, like Michelle or Rochelle. You could also use Shelly. For a unique twist on the trend, see Lori. Meaning “the lazy one,” she’s related to the loris, a slow-moving mammal.
Water gods make good girl turtle names too. A unique choice, they pack the might of mythology. Among them, there’s Saga, the Norse goddess of wisdom who lived near water, as well as Aruna, who was the Hittite god of the sea. Ganga is the goddess of the Ganges River, while Yamuna is the goddess of the Yamuna River. You could also opt for mythological water creatures, such as Selkie, Nix, and Nessie.
If you’re looking for unique girl turtle names, see Mally, meaning “sweet.” You might also like Ahava, meaning “friendship.” Patience pays homage to a turtle’s legendary patience, while Abana’s meaning of “constant” recognizes the species’ determination in the proverbial Turtle and the Hare race.
Turning to meanings is a great way to find girl turtle names that fit your pet’s personality or look. Felicity means “happiness,” for instance. Mignon means “cute,” and Midori means “green.”
Browse the rest of our girl turtle names and see which might work for your new turtle buddy.
