Names That Start with N
347 names
N has a gentle, nasal sound, and names beginning with it often sound calm and smooth. Noah, the builder of the ark in Genesis, is one of the best-known biblical names in this group. Nathan was a prophet who advised a king of Israel, and Nathaniel appears among the early followers in the Gospels. Naomi is a central figure in one of the shortest books of the Hebrew Bible.
Christmas has given several names to this letter. Natalie and Natalia come from a Latin phrase for the birthday of the Lord, and Noelle is the French word for Christmas with a feminine ending. These names suit babies born in winter, though many parents choose them simply for their sound.
Other names here have Greek and Irish roots. Nicholas means victory of the people in Greek and is the name of the saint behind many Christmas traditions, while Nicolas is a common spelling in French and Spanish and Nicole is the feminine form. Nolan is an Irish surname. Nora and Norah are two spellings of one name, which started as a short form of longer names. Nova is Latin for new and is used in astronomy for a star that suddenly brightens. Nevaeh is a modern creation, heaven spelled backward.
