Place Girl Names

297 namesGirl

Place names for girls carry the charm of cities, regions and landscapes. They can honor a family's heritage, a beloved vacation spot or a meaningful moment, and they often have a modern, stylish sound.

Cities and regions supply many of the names here. Brooklyn and Brooklynn come from the famous New York borough, London is the capital of England, and Sydney is the largest city in Australia. Savannah is a historic city in Georgia, Sienna is an Italian city famous for its medieval center, and Phoenix is the capital of Arizona. Paisley is a town in Scotland that gave its name to a swirling textile pattern.

Other names have older or more layered roots. Lydia was an ancient region in western Anatolia, and the name also appears in the New Testament. Isla, a Scottish name linked to the island of Islay, is also the Spanish word for island. Dakota recalls the Dakota people and the American states named after them, and Eden refers to the biblical garden. Kimberly comes from an English place name, and Kendall and Payton were English place-based surnames before becoming given names. When choosing a place name, consider whether it holds personal meaning, and think about how it sounds with your surname and any siblings' names.
