Names That Start with C
798 names
C is one of the trickier letters in English names because it can sound like a K, an S or a ch. On this page the hard K sound dominates: Caleb, Cameron, Carter, Connor, Cooper and Colton all open with it, and even Chloe and Christopher use a K sound despite the ch spelling, a pattern inherited from Greek. Charles and Charlotte keep the soft French sh-like ch instead, so it helps to say a C name aloud before settling on spelling.
Several of these names share deep roots. Christopher means bearer of Christ in Greek, and Christian comes from the same source. Charlotte began as a feminine form of Charles, which has been a royal name in several European countries. Caleb is a figure from the Hebrew Bible, Camila is the Spanish form of an old Roman name, and Claire is the French word for clear or bright.
A practical, outdoorsy strand runs through the boys' names as well. Carter and Cooper are occupational surnames, for a cart driver and a barrel maker, while Cameron is a Scottish clan name and Connor is Irish. Chase is a plain English word name. If your surname also starts with a K sound, think about whether you like the repeated sound or would rather contrast it.
