Travel-Inspired Baby Names

With three teens and one tween now, it has been many moons since I last spent hours and hours pouring over baby names. But that doesn’t stop me from getting giddy when I hear a name that would be perfect for a baby born to a glowing mama (or daddy) with a wanderlusty soul.

Wishing you the happiest in everything and very happy baby naming ,

35 Top Baby Names for the Wanderlust, Travel Loving Soul

In no particular order, here is a compilation of beautiful, unique, and top travel-inspired baby names that I’ve pieced together by reflecting on my many years of traveling with four children in tow.

The Baby Names

1. Paris. Sure, Paris Hilton or Paris-Michael may come to mind, but this name promises to be a timeless, iconic, classic name. Think, “We’ll always have Paris .” -Casablanca

2. India. Love this for a baby name. For me, conjures images of beauty and strength. A name that in recent years has lost some traction on the baby name chart, at least according to the U.S. Social Security Administration, where the name has decreased in popularity since the early 2000s.

3. Geneva . If you’ve been to Geneva, you know it’s a beautiful, clean, tech-savvy city, with a lovely lake and mountain views, where women and men stroll the center streets in nice suits and magazine-cover dresses. This name has a modern, cosmopolitan, and unique, yet timeless appeal. It was a name popular in the 1920s .

4. London. Oh, London! A classy and sophisticated name for any gender. Think also cosmopolitan, hipster London, England, with coffee shops and vegan cafes. English origin meaning ‘Great River.’

5. Chamonix. A unique name that brings up images of the beautiful French Alps and year-round adventure. The perfect name for a baby born to someone who loves the mountains and adventure, or who wants a mountain inspired baby name. How to pronounce Chamonix here .

And More Baby Names…

6. Milan. Think Italy, fashion, and culture. Oooh, Baby Milan just has that unique, lovely ring.

7. Verona. Another Italian name inspired by the beautiful and charming little city of Verona. I love the city, city baby names, and this choice as a baby name. This name literally means truth.

8. Acadia . This name brings Acadia National Park in Maine, USA to mind, along with natural beauty.

9. Lexington. A sophisticated name reminiscent of Lexington Avenue in New York City, that could be shortened as a nickname to Lexi or Lex.

10. Breeze. A name that makes me think of nomadic living, full-time travel, and peaceful Mediterranean winds.

11. Cyprus. A name inspired by the island in the Eastern Mediterranean. Greek heritage or Turkish.

12. Indigo. Beyond flower children and free-spirits, this name makes me think of indigo sunsets that I’ve seen in some beautiful places during my travels.

13. Shale. This name makes me think of the mountains, like Wyoming Mountain Range, and shale rock, which I’ve found on many of my hikes and trail runs in some gorgeous places.

And More Explorer Girl Names and Wanderlust Boy Names… And Gender-Neutral, Too

14. Riva. A name that makes me think of beautiful lakes in Northern Italy. Could make a lovely baby girl name.

15. Imka. A beautiful and unique name that reminds me of the beauty of South Africa. Afrikaans origin.

16. Alene . A name inspired by Lake Coeur d’Alene in Idaho, USA–makes me think of roadtrips and camper van, camping adventures.

17. Hazel. Makes me think of sipping coffee at lux coffee shops around the globe.

18. Ragnar. This name brings images of Viking explorers and Ragnar adventure races to mind. Perhaps a perfect name for a young explorer and adventure seeker to be. Somehow this seems like it could be an awesome baby name for the child born into a family who travels the world seeking adventure races, chasing spartan races, or ultramarathon buckles.

19. Amelia. I can’t help but think of the great adventure seeker, Amelia Earhart, when I think of this timeless and captivating name. This name definitely has a more feminine vibe, but a more masculine variation of the baby name might be to drop the ‘ia’ to form Amel, which means hope or pure in Arabic.

More Awesome Travel-Inspired Baby Names…

20. Florence. A captivating, strong, feminine name, inspired by the lovely, art and history-rich city of Florence, Italy.

21. Stowe. A unique name that will put a smile on the face of any wanderlust, traveling soul who has spent time in the beautiful Green Mountains of Vermont, USA.

22. Rainier. A cool, adventurous unisex name inspired by Washington State’s Mt. Rainier. Rain could make a cute, fun nickname.

23. Sky. This name has free-spirit, wanderlust soul written all over it.

24. Brooklyn. A name that seems to be gaining traction in baby naming, but it’s a great pick that brings the hip burrough Brooklyn, New York City to mind.

25. Charles. A classic name, but one that also conjures images of the beautiful gothic Charles Bridge in Prague.

26. Berlin . This German city name could be a strong, powerful, unisex baby name.

More Baby Name Ideas…

27. Rio . Sure, you might think of Rio in Good Girls, but those overflowing with wanderlust might also think Rio de Janeiro, the seaside city in Brazil.

28. Valencia. A name inspired by the gorgeous Valencia region of Spain.

29. Denali. A captivating, adventurous baby name, inspired by one of the world’s tallest mountains and the tallest peak in the United States (Alaska, 20,310 ft.)

31. Norway . A cool name for a child born to parent(s) who love anything Nordic or Winter, like Nordic skiing.

32. Ocean . A travel-inspired baby name, thanks to too-many-to-count trans-oceanic flights.

33. Esja. Inspired by Mount Esja, which is the mountain range not far from Reykjavik, Iceland. My kids and I ran this mountain several years back. 

34. Cruz. A name inspired by Puerto de la Cruz, a city on the north coast of Tenerife, one of Spain’s magnificant Canary Islands.

35. Elio. A Spanish name, overflowing with sun-drenched travel inspiration. The name means Sun God. In Spain, it’s a somewhat popular boy’s name.

I was considering Hazel for my daughter’s name before she was born. We ended up naming her Sophia, because we just liked the name. I have now learned that Sofia is a popular name for a city around the world. It also reminds me of visiting the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul Turkey in my 20’s. I love how names can invoke memories, and feelings, and connections to people and places.

Yes, they sure do invoke memories and feelings! Sophia is a beautiful name!

33 Adorable Travel-Themed Baby Names

What are the best travel-themed baby names? Choosing a baby name can be tough. For me, I looked for a bit of inspiration from what I love most- travel! Whilst some were not really our style, some names we really loved. So I thought I’d share with you some of my findings in this post on the top- travel-themed baby names. 

Travel-themed baby names

For hubby and I, travel has always been an important part of our lives. We had both travelled extensively before we met, and we have continued to travel together. We had a travel themed wedding. We also had a travel-themed pregnancy announcement. We then made a travel-themed girls’ nursery. So why not continue the theme with a name? 

I searched the Internet far and wide for inspiration. There were lots of travel-themed baby names that hubby and I liked for girls, but we weren’t so keen on the boys names. I tried for Atlas but my husband wouldn’t go for it… haha 

In the end we had a little girl called Isla Mae. Isla means island in Spanish so there was our link to travel. It also turns out to be a very popular name worldwide, but not always with the same spelling. In Turkey, for example, Ayla (with the same pronunciation) is very common. We chose Mae because it is a popular Thai name, which is one of our favourite countries to travel to. 

During my extensive research, however, I came across a lot more travel-themed baby names. Here are some of the most common! 

Travel-themed baby names: Girls 

Florence- a city in Italy . Also means ‘to flourish’

Aurora: A city in Illinois. Also the official name of the Northern Lights- Aurora Borealis

Sydney- a city in Australia

Isla- island in Spanish

Savannah- a city in Georgia 

Alexandria- a city in Egypt 

India – after the country 

Sahara- a desert in Northern Africa 

Paris- a city in France 

Nara- has Gaelic roots meaning happy. A region in Japan 

Saya- a Japanese name meaning sheath for a sword. It denotes peace

Skye- named after Isle of Skye in Scotland. Also pronounced ‘sky’, as in to travel by airplane 

Dominika- a Caribbean island. Comes from the Latin word for Sunday 

Zaria- Arabic for ‘flower’. Also a Nigerian city

Travel-themed baby names: Boys 

Austin- a city in Texas

Aspen- a city in Colorado 

Easton- a city in Pennsylvania

Orlando- City in Florida 

Hudson- river in New York 

Jordan- a country in the Middle East 

Phoenix- a city in Arizona 

Rio- a city in Brazil 

Tyree- second tallest mountain in Antarctica 

Hamilton- a city in New Zealand 

Miles- a measure of distance 

Atlas- a map 

Christopher- Patron Saint of Travel 

Jericho- place in Israel, also a biblical location 

Marco- a famous explorer 

Phileas- from the novel Around the World in 8 Days

Brooklyn- an area of New York 

Gulliver- after the film Gulliver Travels 

Darwin- founder of evolution in the Galapagos Islands 

So that’s my list of favourite travel-themed baby names. Do you have any others that you would recommend? Drop them in the comments below, I’d love to hear them! 

Psssst! By the way, I have recently designed a flight log book to allow your kids to record all of the journeys! If you’re looking for a special way to record your children’s travel memories then head over to Amazon to take a look!

Go around the world with these iconic baby names

By Diva Anwari June 15, 2022

Searching for the perfect baby name can be one of the more exciting things to research before your little one gets here. You might have already looked at celebrity baby names or possibly your favorite show ( Bridgerton baby names, anyone?) for ideas but if you’re looking for a name that sparks a happy memory then you might consider travel-inspired baby names.

And what’s one thing that can take you back to a magical moment like your honeymoon, proposal or wedding location? The name, of course! Maybe you honeymooned in Sydney because you just had to see the famous opera house. Maybe your partner proposed under the glittering lights of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Or, maybe you had a lovely rustic wedding in Boston. Whatever place calls to your heart might be the place to consider naming your baby after.

And the name Sanspereil was given to several ships, including a French warship captured by Britain in the 1800s. 

Finally, this name was also given to a British steam locomotive, also in the 1800s.

Intriguingly, Saraca is a Romani name that means poor . It’s typically used as an amuletic name, chosen to ward off evil or the attention of malicious forces.

Teressia, Trezi

The unique names Teressia and Trezi are forms of Theresa , which may mean summer or harvest in Greek.

These Romani names all share the same root: Trinity. This name refers to the Christian belief that God has three components- the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

75 Gypsy Names for Baby

Stefanie Miller

What are gypsies? The word " gypsy " comes from the Middle English word "gypcian." This is derived from Greek for Egyptian. It is believed that the Romani gypsies in the Middle Ages were actually Egyptian . Something you may not know that there are two types of gypsies, so not just the Romanies. *Please note that the word gypsy may be viewed as pejorative to some due to its connotations of illegality.

The Romani people are probably who you are most familiar with. They are nomads who have migrated from Central Asia to Europe and in the 19th century, even the Americas. You won't typically see them identify themselves as one ethnicity as they are very diverse people who speak many different languages.

The other type of gypsies is the Irish Travellers. They aren't related to the Romani people, even though they are sometimes grouped into the same gypsy category. These nomads are primarily English and Irish and primarily live in Ireland. These nomadic people are very religious as well, identifying as Catholic.

Why Choose a Gypsy Name?

The first thing you will notice is that this group of names is very diverse and includes Irish and Romani options, allowing you more gypsy names to choose from. Each name’s meaning is typically something special to their culture or religion and can be a great choice for someone who is adventurous or has ties to gypsies in their ancestry. Either way, these baby names are beautiful and many are very unique, giving your little adventurer a name of their own.

The word Gypsy or Gipsy traditionally refers to Romani people of Indo- Aryan origin. In this post, we have listed such Romany Gypsy baby names representing this ethnicity’s traditions, heritage, and history. According to the Oxford Dictionary, Gypsy refers to an ethnic wanderer and nomadic group from Asia who travels and lives in a caravan. While most Roma Gypsies originated in the northern regions of the Indian subcontinent, a few also have Irish ancestry. This is why their names conform to the nation’s rules they traveled to and do not resemble much to their original ancestry. Although Roman gypsies have varied originations, currently, many reside in America and Europe.

If you wish to choose a baby name with diversity, each of these Gypsy baby names has a story. In this post, we have focused on the culture, traditions, and history of Romans while considering their traditional traveling behavior. As you may notice, many of these names are common ones since Gypsy names are inspired from many places across the world.

1. Romany Gypsy Girl Names

Vadoma is probably the Romany feminine form of the Russian name Vadim. The etymologists believe that this name has its roots in the Slavic element vadic, which means ‘to know’. This is because the pagan magicians were called veduny, which means ‘the knowing ones.’

This moniker is derived directly by Romany. Its most famous bearer is Dame Roma Mitchell , the first woman Governor of an Australian state. It’s another name for Goddess Lakshmi and means ‘one with shiny hair’. Besides, it’s also the name of a place in Italy. So you have plenty of references here!

Charity is one of the three abstract virtue names along with Faith and Hope , but this one isn’t used much. This moniker was one of the top 500 names in the 1880s and 1950s. It remained in the top 1000 list until the year 1927, when it fell into obscurity. It later reappeared in the year 1968. In fact, it was one of the top 300 names in the 1970s and 1980s. We love this name for its freshness and rhythmic ‘y’ ending sound.

4. Florence

After being neglected for decades, Florence is getting love again, probably because of its floral feel and its connection with the Italian city. Even Florence Nightingale was named after her birthplace (Florence). You can even credit the red-haired Florence Welch for rejuvenating its image. For the nickname, Flora , Flossie, Flo, and Florrie would be best.

Lavinia is a prim and proper gypsy name, dating back to the classical mythology, where it was borne by the wife of Aeneas, the Trojan Hero. It also featured in G.B. Shaw’s “Androcles and the Lion”, Shakespeare’s “ Titus Andronicus”, and Henry James’ “Washington Square”. And it comes with the vintage nickname option, Vinnie, too.

6. Ethelinda

Ethelinda is the gypsy variation of the name Aethelind and means ‘noble maiden’. This moniker would appeal parents who like names with soft sound and admirable meaning. Yes, it does seem to be out of favor, but every great name bounces back, and so will Ethelinda. Besides, this name has its association with Ethelinda Vanderbilt Allen, daughter of US industrialist Cornelius Vanderbilt.

This Old Testament name is used widely by the Romany gypsies. In the Bible, Kezia was the name of one of the three daughters of Job. This moniker was once associated with the slaves and is still well used in the African-American community. And with such a beautiful sound and meaning, ‘ cassia tree’, Kezia rightfully deserves emancipation.

This one’s pretty straightforward, isn’t it? This moniker is associated with the burlesque performer and thoroughly intellectual Gypsy Rose Lee and the musical that was made on her life. Besides, this moniker was also used by Shooter Jennings and Drea de Matteo as the middle name for their daughter Alabama.

This medieval variation of the name Esther featured in “The Scarlet Letter’s name”. It’s pretty neglected now, but has a chance of revival, following the wake of its original name, Esther. It has made literary appearances in Oscar Wilde’s play, “A Woman of No Importance”, Theodore Dreiser’s novel “An American Tragedy”, and John Irving’s novel “A Prayer for Owen Meaney”. Hetty could be used as the nickname for Hester.

This lovely Puritan virtue name has a quality that is deeply undervalued today. This moniker is distinctive and stylish, which is a beautiful and rare combination. Although it was hugely popular in the late 19th century, it’s on the way for a comeback. It rose over 140 spots between the years 2012 and 2013, making it one of the fastest rising names.

This gypsy variation of Naomi is finding favor with parents who are looking for a soft, biblical name with a melodic sound and a positive meaning (pleasantness). Naomie Harri, the actress, helped in the modernization of this name.

This rhythmic and interesting name is heard not just in Romany, but also in the Native American community. In fact, in the Gold Rush in Nevada and California, this moniker was so common that it became the generic term for a Native American woman. Mahalia Jackson , the great gospel singer’s birth name was actually Mahala. Halie would sound extremely cute as a nickname.

13. Leonora

This mellifluous name has a rich history. It’s associated with three opera characters; it’s the name of two characters played by the legend Elizabeth Taylor and it’s also borne by the renowned British artist and writer, Leonora Carrington.

14. Theodosia

This moniker may be buried deep in the attic right in the western world, but is hugely popular with the gypsies. We think it would make an excellent pick for parents who find Theodora too cute and feminine. She’ll also get to share her name with Theodosia Burr Goodman, the American silent film actress. The meaning of this name is ‘giving to God’.

This moniker isn’t very popular beyond the realms of the gypsies. It swims below the top 1000, with just 20 babies being named Selina last year. You can pronounce this name as sel-ee-na or sel-eye-na.

16. Queenie

Queenie started as a nickname for girls named Regina , but it’s used by the gypsies as a stand-alone name. We think it would work best as a nickname or middle name. Hester Maria Thrale was given the nickname Queenie by Samuel Johnson . Queenie means ‘queen’ .

This sleek gypsy name is also worth consideration. Even this moniker has featured in several literary works, including Milan Kudera’s novel “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” and Thornton Wilder’s play “The Skin of Our Teeth”. Its namesake would be Sabina Guzzanti, the Italian satirist, actress, writer, and producer.

18. Penelope

Penelope is actually a Greek name, but is very familiar with the gypsies. This classic moniker has been moving up the charts, thanks to the glamorous actress Penelope Cruz . This moniker is associated with the faithful wife of Odysseus in Homer’s “Odyssey”. It also has several novelists as namesakes – Penelope Gilliatt, Fitzgerald, Mortimer, and Lively. Instead of the usual Penny , pick Poppy or Nell as a nickname.

19. Patience

This passive virtue name, popular with the Romany gypsies sounds much fresher than Charity, Faith, and Hope. This name got a bump in popularity after appearing in “Catwoman”. Patience Philips, remember? In literature, this name appears in Shakespeare’s “Henry VIII”, in Gilbert & Sullivan comic operetta and an Anthony Trollope’s novel.

Most of you would relate this name to a character in the 70s sitcom “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and its spin-off Rhoda. But this name has a long history. It features in the New Testament as the mother of John. This name started on the popularity list at #161 spot and is still stuck there.

21. Rosella

This cutting edge name is frilly, cute, and sassy, all in one. You can see Rosella as a diminutive of the name Rose or as a nature name as Rosella is an Australian flower and a variety of Australian cockatoos. Its namesake is Rosella Falk, the Italian actress. But her first name is more commonly spelled Rossella.

22. Clementina

Clementine is the Spanish form of the name Clementine and means ‘mild, merciful’. This name stands out for its ‘eena’ ending. And the ending takes it from the realm of the popular song ‘Oh my darling, Clementine”. Clementina has several notable namesakes that include, Lady Clementina Villiers, the 19th century British beauty; Sofia Clementina Handler, the daughter of actor American Evan Handler; and Clementina Black, the British writer on trade unions and feminism.

23. Esmeralda

Esmeralda is a gypsy girl and the love interest of hunchbacked Quasimodo in Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame. She was born Agnes , but received the name Esmeralda due to the jewel she wore around her neck. This Portuguese version of Emerald has been famous with the Hispanic parents for long. It currently holds the #369.

This diminutive of Matilda is a surprise hit with the Malibu, Tribeca, and British parents. It currently holds the 90th spot on the Wales-England popularity list. It has also joined the Maisie , Milly , Lottie , and Kitty in the top 100 nickname list. Feminist favorite, Tillie Olsen is its most notable namesake.

25. Masilda

Masilda is probably derived from the name Mathilda and means ‘battle-mighty’. So if you love the name and the meaning of Matilda, but are scared that your child might run into another Matilda in her school, pick Masilda. We’re very sure no one would share her name at school.

26. Liberty

If you want a Romani gypsy name that still has a connection with America, pick Liberty. This one came to the surface following the American War of Independence. It caught up not just in America, but also in some Puritan colonies. It is now seeing a level of popularity that wasn’t seen since the end of World War I.

2. Romany Gypsy Boy Names

27. freedom.

This Romany gypsy baby boy name carries a strong philosophical statement. But at the same time, it might be a bit of a load for your boy to carry. Ving Rhames chose this name for his baby boy. It also featured in the book “The Host” by Stephanie Meyer. It was the name of a young boy who was born in the caves after the alien invasion.

This name is believed to be a Romany name, meaning ‘born with teeth’. We don’t know whether it’s true or not, but there is a Romani word ‘danior’ that means ‘teeth’. It’s actually a plural form of the ‘daand’, which means ‘tooth,’ which is further derived from Sanskrit word ‘danta’. This moniker would fit perfectly with the trend of names ending with ‘or’.

Manfri is the Romany form of the much-loved name Manfred. If Manfri sounds too casual to use as a given name, you can consider using this name as a nickname for Manfred. The meaning of Manfri is ‘man of peace’. We hope your child strives for peace, which seems to be vanishing with every passing day.

To be honest, we’re pretty surprised at the popularity of this English rank of nobility name with the gypsies. We feel that the reason this moniker is enjoying a revival as one of the fastest rising names is its association with Edward Duke Ellington, the American jazz musician. It was also chosen by TV couple Giuliana and Bill Rancic for their son.

With the D silent in its name, Django is the traditional language of the gypsies. It got fame via Reinhardt, the Belgian-born jazz guitarist. His nickname is Django, which means ‘I awake’ in Romany. It got further exposure and familiarity after the release of Quentin Tarantino’s film “Django Unchained”. We think it would make a musical pick for jazz aficionado.

32. Motshan

This Romany baby name is believed to have been derived from Russian and Yiddish name Movcha and Hebrew name Moses . Motshan has an evocative feel to it. It sounds exotic to the western ear without being attached to any particular race or culture. Motshan means ‘son’.

Vano is the Romany version of the name Ivan and means ‘god is gracious’. It’s one of the few Romany names that are beginning to be fully accepted into the European and American naming pool. The only concern with this name is that some parents might find it a bit heavy booted. Vano Bamberger is a famous gypsy guitarist.

This gypsy name, once popular in the 70s, is flowing back into favor with nature loving parents. Or you can opt for its variation Oceanus, which was generally given to the child born during the voyage of the Mayflower. Frank Ocean, the American singer, would be its famous namesake.

Timbo, the Romany variant of the French name Etienne meaning ‘crown’ feels oh so debonair. It’s classic with the Romany gypsies, but nearly unknown to the English speakers. Its namesake is Timbo Mehrstein, a contemporary Gypsy Jazz violinist. It doesn’t need a nickname, but you can shorten it to Tim if you want.

Image: IStock

This one’s for our nature loving members. Patrin is a Romany name meaning ‘leaf trail’. This moniker is believed to have been derived from Sanskrit term Patta, which means ‘leaf’. It’s rhythmic and intriguingly unusual, yet easily comprehensible. For the nickname, you can consider Pattin.

37. Menowin

Menowin is ubiquitous in the Romany gypsy culture. This name is believed to have been compiled using the German elements megin, which means ‘strength’ and win, which means friend’. But in case of Menowin Froehlich, its most famous bearer, his name was made up by his father to make it sound like Menuhin, the surname of the violinist Yehudi Menuhin.

38. Leander

This gypsy name is associated with the dominant figure in the Greek legend, who swam across the Hellespont every day to meet his beloved Hero, the priestess of Venus. This name is currently one of the top 40 names in Norway. Or you can opt for its variation Leandro , its appealing Spanish form.

39. Silvanus

Mythological names are quite popular with the Romany gypsies. One such name is Silvanus, referring to the Roman Tree God. This moniker is cute, lively, and elegant. And with the return of the classical names in the Western world, even Silvanus can resurface again. Silvanus Trevail, the Cornish architect is its famous namesake.

40. Pyramus

Here’s another mythological name well used by the Romany gypsies. Pyramus and his love Thisbe were young lovers in Babylon who were kept apart because of family rivalry. This Greek name is taken from the name of the river Pyramos, which means ‘fire’. It may be ancient, but does not sound as such.

Lash is the Romani variation of the name Louis and means ‘renowned warrior’. This Romani boy name had its heyday in the 19th century, particularly among them Americans. Its namesake is Lash Rushay Hoffman, the American wrestler who is better known by his screen name Stevie Ray.

42. Bohemia

The Romany people arriving France via Bohemia referred to as the Bohemians. So this name gives a straightforward reference to the gypsies. It also nods to the impoverished and artistic lifestyle of the gypsies.

43. Llewellyn

Llewellyn with the double ‘ll’ would make a bold pick for your son. It has some worthy namesakes like Llewellyn Fawr, fondly called Llewellyn the Great and Llewellyn Olaf, also called Llewellyn the Last. It’s also the name of a major character in McCarthy’s “No Country for Old Men”. Some appealing nicknames for this one include Llelo, Lleu, and Llew.

44. Nehemiah

This Old Testament name that was out of favor for centuries has suddenly reappeared, thanks to the Romany gypsies. It reached its highest spot #362 in 1998, and has been moving a few spots up or down since then. In the Bible, Nehemiah was the prophet assigned with the task of rebuilding the city of Jerusalem after the captivity of the Babylonians.

3. Irish Gypsy Girl Names

45. margaret.

Margaret, as in Margaret Barry was an Irish Traveler, and a renowned banjo player and singer. This rich and classy name has been borne by several saints and queens. It’s also an important family name, having taken one of the top spots in the first half of 1900. We recommend you this name for its classic status and strong sound.

This moniker refers to Nan Joyce, the Irish Travellers’ rights activist. She worked hard to improve the living conditions of travelers in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Nan is the diminutive of Nancy and means ‘grace’ . It received love in the English speaking countries via Nan, the protagonist of “The Nanny Diaries”.

Shelta is actually the secret language spoken by the Irish Travellers and means ‘a voice that moves’, moves in the sense of being affectionate, emotional, and endearing. The modern Celticists believe that it comes from the Gaelic word siulta, which means ‘walking’. This word was first recorded in 1876 by Charles Leland, the American ‘gypsiologist’ and the first countryman to come across the language of Irish Travellers.

4. Irish Gypsy Boy Names

48. patrick.

This name belongs to Patrick Dune, the Irish musician and seanchai. He was born into a family of Irish Travellers. Patrick is enjoying a renaissance in England, along with George and Charles. It’s also associated with Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. This name is currently at a healthy #164 spot.

Paddy Keenan is the son of John Keenan, the famous Irish Traveller. Most of the people consider Paddy as a generic term for the Irishmen. But not many know that it originated as a diminutive of Patrick. Mare Winningham used it for her son recently. We’d suggest you use Patrick as your son’s given name and Paddy as the nickname.

50. Bartley

Bartley Gorman V also referred to as the King of the Gypsies, was an Irish traveler and an undefeated knuckle-boxing champion of Ireland. The meaning of Bartley is ‘birch tree meadow’. This surname is inspired by the Bartley Redis in Hampshire and was first recorded in the mid of the 16th century.

Frequently asked questions.

1. What is the difference between a Roma and a Gypsy?

The words Roma and Gypsy are not synonymous. The word Roma means “man” and is used by several sub-groups who immigrated from North India to Europe in the ninth century to refer to themselves. On the other hand, “Gypsy” is a term coined by others to define the Roma communities. While some find the term Gypsy derogatory and a racial slur, it is accepted by some Roma communities ( 1 ) ( 2 ).

2. What are common Romany last names?

The Roma surnames vary based on the region and may be inspired by the country they live in. A few communities carry the common English surnames such as Smith, Taylor, Williams, and Scott . Traditional Roma surnames include Orsós, and Kolompár are also common ( 3 ) ( 4 ).

3. How do Romany Gypsy families pick baby names?

According to customs, Romany Gypsy names are chosen based on their historical significance, cultural or ethnic association, the familial passage of rights, traditional occupations, and specific physical or moral traits ( 5 ).

4. Are there any superstitions associated with Romany Gypsy baby names?

Roman gypsies consider the mother and baby impure until they are baptized and do not mention or leave any traces of the baby’s name out of the fear of being hunted by evil spirits. Once baptized, the baby is given three names, of which the first is believed to be the original identity of the baby and is hidden from everyone except the mother to protect the baby ( 6 ).

5. How has the Romany Gypsy naming tradition evolved over time?

The naming practices of Romany Gypsies have evolved over time. While traditional names from their language are still valued, modern Roma individuals now often opt for common names used in the country they live in. They consider both traditional and contemporary influences, resulting in a wider range of names that reflect their cultural identity while incorporating modern styles.

6. Are Romany Gypsy baby names typically gender-specific?

Romany Gypsy baby names can be either gender-specific or unisex. While certain names may be more commonly associated with boys or girls, there is flexibility in choosing names for either gender, depending on personal preferences and cultural traditions.

In a post shared to Instagram on Wednesday, Peter, 51, did nonetheless reveal a sweet nickname for their newborn daughter. Alongside a sweet clip of doting dad Peter cradling his little girl, the singer referred to his tiny tot as "bubba" writing: "The love I have for our baby is one thing. The love I have for Emily is another love altogether."

He continued: "What an incredible mum she is and what a truly beautiful gift she has given us. We all love bubba so much. And she STILL has no name. Like I say at the end, 'I'm a dab hand at this………maybe.'"

As the couple continue to decide on a name for their newborn, join HELLO! as we take a look at all of Emily and Peter's baby name announcements.

Lovebirds Peter and Emily welcomed their first child on 7 January 2014. The couple took a while to pick a name for their newborn, with Peter announcing their chosen moniker nearly a month after their baby's arrival. Announcing the news on X (formerly known as Twitter), the TV star said: "Ok FINALLY we have a name for our beaut of a baby girl. Ems, J, P and I have decided on Amelia :)))) So lovely fans before you read it anywhere else here it is. Love ya."

Before settling on Amelia, Peter explained how the couple had narrowed it down to four traditional monikers, with Amelia being the frontrunner. During an appearance on The Jonathan Ross show, Peter said at the time: "We have four names. Maybe you can help me out actually. We had Rose. I love Rose because it's English and beautiful. Amelia, beautiful name. Elizabeth. Alexandra. So these are the four names that we've been throwing around. I love them because they are English and they are beautiful."

He continued: "The baby came three weeks early. Then we looked at each other and I said, 'We haven't got a name,' so we started calling her Rose, but she wasn't a Rose."

Emily and Peter welcomed their second child on 22 November 2016. At the time, Peter confessed that he and his wife struggled to find the right name for their child. Speaking to New! Magazine, he said: "We're nowhere near choosing a name yet, though. We have so many we like, but every time we go to say it, it doesn’t stick. I love names like Oscar and Arthur but Emily's not so keen."

After two weeks, the couple reached a decision, with Peter announcing the news on Twitter. Sharing the joyous news with his followers, he penned: "Theo it is then. Or Theodore James Andre (a) to be precise."

Ex-cop accused in 2 killings, kidnapping of baby fatally shoots self at end of chase, police say

A former Washington state police officer accused of killing his ex-wife and his girlfriend , as well as kidnapping a baby, shot and killed himself at the end of a car chase with police in Oregon, authorities said Tuesday.

Oregon State Patrol troopers on the lookout for suspect Elias Huizar, 39, spotted him driving south on Interstate 5 near Eugene about 2:40 p.m., Oregon State Police Capt. Kyle Kennedy said at an evening news conference.

A pursuit ensued and at one point the suspect lost control of the vehicle he was driving and exchanged gunfire with pursuing troopers, Kennedy said. No injuries were reported, and the chase continued south, he said.

After approaching slow traffic, Huizar hit a stopped vehicle and spun into a median, the captain said. Huizar's car then became immobile and, as troopers "contacted" the vehicle, the suspect shot himself in the head, Kennedy said.

The 1-year-old boy Huizar had allegedly kidnapped was safely taken by troopers, Kennedy said. Authorities did not detail how they believed the child was kidnapped.

No injuries were reported in the second and final crash about 25 miles from the start of the chase, the captain said.

"Today was a worst-case scenario for us — having a murder suspect in the same vehicle as an innocent juvenile," Kennedy said. "That brings everything up another level for us. It’s a zero-sum game for us. We’re thankful for the way it turned out."

Huizar was charged with first-degree murder in Monday’s slaying of Amber Rodriguez, 31, at Wiley Elementary School in West Richland as classes were being let out shortly before 3:30 p.m., Benton County Prosecutor Eric Eisinger said during a Tuesday afternoon news conference.

The charge of murder includes an aggravated circumstance allegation of domestic violence, as well as a firearm enhancement, Eisinger said.

Huizar was also being investigated in the death of a woman whose body was discovered later Monday when authorities searched his home. That victim has not been identified but was described in an Amber Alert from Washington State Patrol as Huizar’s girlfriend.

According to a court document filed against Huizar on Monday, witnesses at Wiley Elementary School said a gunman wearing black clothing and a black hat shot Rodriguez. Eight .40-caliber bullet casings were recovered at the scene. Rodriguez was identified after the killing in part through her school employee ID, the documents said.

The pair’s 9-year-old son witnessed the shooting, according to the court filing. The former husband and wife have two children together, according to court documents. 

At the time of the shooting at the school, Huizar was under conditional freedom after being accused of third-degree rape of a child and second-degree rape, Eisinger said. His total bail had been set at $250,000, the prosecutor noted.

According to a separate court filing about Huizar’s alleged rapes, two teens went to police in early February after a 17-year-old girl — whom prosecutors in the filing said identified herself as Huizar's girlfriend — told officers she woke up to Huizar performing oral sex on her 16-year-old friend, who was "passed out" after all three had been drinking alcohol.

Huizar and the 17-year-old “have a child in common,” the filing said. Huizar met her when he was a resource officer at her middle school and got her pregnant when she was 15 years old, court records said.

The teen took the baby and drove off with her 16-year-old friend after February's alleged incident, before flagging down police, the court filing said.

Washington State Patrol on Monday had issued an Amber Alert for the 1-year-old. The state patrol had said Huizar and the boy shared the same last name, but the relationship between them was not immediately clear Tuesday afternoon. It was also not immediately clear whether the child was the same one Huizar had with the 17-year-old.

The alert was extended from Washington to Oregon as well as other places in the west, Eisinger said. The alert also said the women killed were Huizar’s ex-wife and his girlfriend.

Kennedy said Oregon State Police received a request to issue the alert about 10:30 p.m. Monday and put it into effect about an hour later.

The  West Richland Police Department  said earlier that Huizar was “armed and considered dangerous, and is likely to commit more crimes." Portland police told West Richland authorities that Huizar was seen in the Oregon city overnight, possibly driving a black sedan. 

The Yakima Police Department in Washington said Huizar was an officer there from 2013 to 2022.

“He did serve as a school resource officer for a period of time, at a couple schools during his employment. Mr. Huizar resigned in February of 2022, immediately following discipline,” a department spokesperson said. 

Shelley Redinger, superintendent of the Richland School District, said Huizar passed background checks and answered no to questions that included whether he had ever resigned from an employer with allegations of misconduct pending or if he’d ever been the subject of a workplace investigation accusing him of misconduct.

Redinger said Huizar’s last day as a district employee was in June 2023.

“We are extremely disheartened. That information about his past was not disclosed to us,” she said. “It is expectation for individuals who apply for employment with the Richland school district to be forthcoming and truthful in their applications.”
