Although Greek is not one of the most well-known European languages, the names (or versions of them) are widely known across nations. When choosing a name for your baby, be sure to understand not only the meaning of the name in the native language, but also any cultural meanings from other parts of the world. Many Greek names are long and contain unusual consonants, so can provide a true element of uniqueness for any lucky baby.
Being one of the oldest languages spoken on the planet today, names with a Greek origin provide a historic and mythical feel fit for a baby king, queen or warrior. Classic Greek names originate from variations of Gods and mythical people. This unique mixture of mythical teachings and Mediterranean influences combine for some truly unique Greek baby names.
Not all classic Greek names contain Xs, Vs and Zs, but strong consonances are commonplace. When choosing a Greek name for your baby, consider the stories behind the gods and mythological legends too.
