To tell you the truth, there are tons of terrific baby names starting with T. T is a wonderfully androgynous letter, balancing a softness and hardness of sound that makes it perfect for both boy and girl names.
To start, we’ve got Talia; this Hebrew-derived name for girls means “dew of God,” “lamb,” or “to bloom.” It’s lovely-sounding and rolls off the tongue quite nicely, which could explain why it nearly broke the top 100-mark for the most popular baby names in the U.S. in 2024. Another girl name we love is Taylee. This relatively modern name of English origin means “she who is a gift from God.” For Christian-inspired names for girls, Talia and Taylee are two tremendous choices.
Two boy names we love are Tristan and Turner. The former is a Welsh name that references noise or clatter, while the latter is a common American surname-cum-first-name that means “woodworker” and is of Old English origin. Tristan has been a popular baby boy name in the U.S. since the 1970’s, while Turner has yet to break the top 1,000 list as a first name. Clearly, you can’t go wrong with either one, as you’ll either choose an old favorite or a hip new moniker.
Don’t touch that dial just yet – we have an entire list of baby names starting with T that are bound to delight you – keep reading to find out what they are.
