Baby Name Generator

The generator loads a curated set of 5,000 names drawn from a licensed open dataset. Every record has a name, a gender label, a normalised origin, a short meaning and optional theme tags such as light, nature, strength or peace. The origins are grouped into 25 readable categories so the filter stays useful rather than overwhelming.

Use the filters to narrow the list by gender, origin, starting letter, theme and length. The search box uses fuzzy matching, so a near-miss spelling can still find the name you mean. You can also press the shuffle button to see ten random names from the current filter. Results load in small pages so the page stays fast on a phone.

Tap the heart on a name card to add it to your favourites. Favourites are stored in your browser's local storage, not on our servers, and you can copy or download the list as a text file. Clearing your browser data removes them. Use the shortlist to compare names with a partner or keep a few options open.

Meanings are short glosses, not full etymological essays, and they can vary between cultures and languages. Use them as a starting point for conversation. The dataset source and licence are recorded in the project repository, and the tool reads from that same data so the names, origins and meanings never drift apart.
