Mythology Baby Names

Myths have always been a source of names, from Greek goddesses to Norse gods and the heroes of Finland's Kalevala. The pages below collect names from eight mythologies, each tied to a real figure from the myths.

Where a mythological name is given to US babies, it links to a full profile with its popularity since 1880. Names from the myths that are not yet recorded in US birth data are listed separately on each page, so you can see the full range.
