Girl Names That Start with G

G names for girls often carry a sense of grace, and that begins with Grace itself, a virtue name with deep roots in Christian tradition. Gracie is its warm, familiar form, and Gracelyn is a newer blend. Gabriella, Gabrielle and Gabriela are feminine forms of the name of the archangel, and each has its own style, from Italian to French to Spanish. Gianna is an Italian short form of an old Hebrew name meaning God is gracious, and Gia is shorter still.
The letter also includes names from saints and places. Genevieve is the patron saint of Paris, and Georgia is both a feminine form of an ancient Greek name and the name of a US state and a country. Guadalupe comes from the Spanish title of Our Lady of Guadalupe, deeply honored in Mexico. Genesis is taken from the first book of the Bible, and Giselle is a Germanic name linked to a pledge, also known from the famous ballet. Gemma means gem in Italian, and Gwendolyn is a Welsh name with a lyrical sound.
G can be hard, as in Grace, or soft, as in Genevieve, so consider how the name will be pronounced. Several names here have variant spellings, and Gabriella and Gabrielle can easily be confused, so decide on a spelling early.
