Harry Potter’s wizardly world is a fabulous place to find namespiration. Nearly every character has a head-turning moniker, from Luna Lovegood to Fleur Delacour. Let’s run through some Harry Potter girl names and see which you might want to add to your list.
Hermione is our first stop in girl names from Harry Potter. This Greek great belongs to the major character, Hermione Granger, a witty girl with a penchant for the particulars. While Hermione is undoubtedly a Harry Potter name to most people’s ears, we think she’s still usable. She has ties to ancient Greece, possibly as a variant of Hermes, and is also a Shakespearan name, much to the delight of literary fans.
Lily is another top contender for use amongst Harry Potter girl names. While she’s a beloved character in the series as Harry’s mother, she’s also quite popular today with many other associations, so she’s a subtle way to honor your love for the series. This is also true of Luna, a Latin lady meaning “moon.” Other contenders in this group are Penelope, Amelia, and Ariana.
Some of our favorite Harry Potter girl names are not at all common today, such as Lavender. Like Violet, she’s a colorful name who doubles as a floral find, though she has yet to spike on the charts. She’s also relatively nickname-proof, a must-have feature for some parents. The French Millicent is equally rare, though she’s rich in adorable nicknames, like Millie and Lissy. Meaning “brave strength,” she also has hidden strength behind her soft sound. Other rare girl names from Harry Potter are Astoria, Muriel, and Myrtle.
Some female names from Harry Potter are undeniably beautiful but have negative associations to watch for, like Bellatrix. While she’s striking in sound and appearance, she’s worn by a villain in the series. Dolores is also in this group, though she frequently appears in other media, so she isn’t as linked to the series’ villain.
We hope you find something magical among Harry Potter girl names.
