Mermaid names for girls offer a splash of the sea with infinite beauty. These sea-dwelling creatures are treasures from many cultures. To get to know these beautiful creatures better, take a look at some highlights before you go.
Many of the names of girl mermaids are ocean-themed, as they derive their names from the sea. Oceane is a great choice, since she gives you ocean associations with a little more. Shell, a simple but stunning moniker that has obvious ocean connections, is another option. If you’d prefer something a touch more subtle in her sea vibes, Maritza means “of the sea,” and Naia means “water nymph.” You always have Sirena, too, since siren is another word for mermaid.
Usually mermaid legends center on the sea creature’s beautiful song, so it’s not a surprise that many mermaid names for girls are also musical in nature. Melody, a singing sea nymph is just right for Melody, as is Melodia, her longer version. Harmony suits a musical maiden. For a hidden music meaning, check out Serenada, an Italian beauty meaning “a song in the night.” Shira, a Hebrew pick, is a touch more personal with her stunning meaning of “my song.” How fitting for your baby girl!
Mermaid names for girls may also be associated with precious gems. Mermaids are deep sea treasures, after all. Gem and Jewel are both simple choices that will fit the needs of a princess who loves to wear a tail. Rubinia and Emeraldina offer a touch more drama if you’d like something with fashionista flair behind her. You’ll find plenty of sparkling beauties waiting for you, along with all the other deep-sea wonders.
Whether you’re looking for something as recognizable as Ariel or a surprise, you’ll find it with mermaid names for girls.
