Baby Names Meaning Love
NameRoot's collection of 716 names that mean love draws from every major naming tradition we cover — names that share love, devotion, and the language of the heart as their central thread, even when the languages and cultural roots differ widely.
These names share a meaning cluster, not a literal translation: in NameRoot's corpus, each name is tagged with the underlying virtue or concept its meaning belongs to. So a Sanskrit name and a Hebrew name can both belong to the Love cluster if their core sense is the same.
