Choosing a name for your baby girl with Dutch origins will probably result in a unique name. Many popular Dutch names in the Netherlands are uncommon in the United States, so your daughter is sure to stand out with one of these names.
Many Dutch girl names have effeminate meanings to them. The name Anabela, for example, means “easy to love, graceful, and beautiful.” The unique name Fenna means peaceful.
Some Dutch names have religious meanings to them. The name Debora comes from the Old Testament of the Bible, and the name Jakoba means “may the Lord protect.”
Some names are tied to nature. Debora has a second meaning, which is “a bee,” and the name Bloem is a translation of the word flower, although it also means “bloom.”
Not all girl names have to be effeminate, of course. If you want a powerful Dutch name that shows your daughter will one day be an accomplished woman, the name Rolanda may be fitting since it means “famous and notable woman.” The name Els means “loves to experiment,” which is a good name if you want your daughter’s name to encourage adventure.
