You can’t have baby names without babies, and you can’t have babies without, ahem… passion. That’s why we’re celebrating this season of romance with our first ever featured name theme: Valentine. A very special thanks to Caitlin for her lovely creation. Here’s 20 great baby name ideas for little cherubs born on the day of love.

Amor/Amora (unisex)—meaning “love” in French and apparently popular in Spain for both girls and boys.

Anabel, Anabella (female)—the Spanish feminine form of Annabel. This name apparently emerged in Scotland during the Middle Ages.

Annabella (female)—this is a variant of Anabella as well as Amabel. This name seemingly came from the Latin amabilis which means “loveable” and/or the Gaelic Aine which means “joy”.

Annabel (female)—possibly from an old Norman name from the element arn which means “eagle”; or arin which means “a hearth”. This name was popular during the 12th century or the Middle Ages.

Annabelle (female)—a combination of Anna (gracious or grace) and Belle (beautiful). It also means loveable and amiable in Scottish.

Agape (unisex)—from Greek origin which means “love” or “love of the next”. This is the namesake of martyr Saint Agape and is also associated with St. Valentine.

Carys (female)—derived from the Welsh caru which means “love”. It also means “to love” in English.

Caryl (female)—an English variant of Carol which is a Latin feminine form of Carolus. It means “song” or “hymn” in the English vocabulary.

Love (unisex)—all you need is Love.

Honor (female)—derived from the English word honour, which is also of Latin origin meaning “esteem”, “dignity”, or “integrity”. It is one of the virtue names taken on by the Puritans during the 17th century.

Cherish (female)—an English word which means “to treasure”. Cherish seems to have been something of a fad over the 70s and 80s but has suddenly shot up the charts over the last year.

Faith (female)—plainly from the English word faith as well as from the Latin fidere which means “to trust”. This was also one of the virtue names implemented by the Puritans during the 17th century.

Ceiro (male)—of Spanish origin and derived from Cyrus which means “sun” or “throne”. This name first came into use during the Protestant Reformation and among the Puritans.

Caron (unisex)—derived from the Welsh word caru which means “to love”. This name was most used during the 1950’s and 1960’s along with its variations: Carol, Carys and Caryl.

Eros (male)—from Greek origin which means “love”. In Greek mythology, Eros was the son of Aphrodite—the goddess of love—and was armed with arrows that cause his victims to fall in love. 

Valentin/Valentina (male/female)—feminine version of Valentine which originates from the Latin Valentinus. It may also be derived from valens which means “strong”, “powerful”, or “vigourous”.

Valentine (male)—came from the Roman family name Valentinus which is derived from the Latin valens, meaning “strong” or “vigorous”. It was borne by St. Valentine who was a third-century martyr and whose feast day was the same as the Roman fertility festival; this consequentially associated Valentine’s Day and love.
