When you’re thinking about what to name your child, many things may come to mind. You may want to honor your heritage or a culture that’s had significance in your life just as much as you may be thinking about the name’s meaning. If hawks are something that are important to you, or you want to honor the animal by incorporating their imagery in your child’s name, there are many names across cultures that have hawk imagery.
Hawks are strong and majestic animals on their own, and there are many names that simply mean “hawk.” An example of said name is Gwalchmei, which is Welsh in origin.
If there is additional imagery you’d like to invoke when you’re choosing a name, there are plenty of names that do so. For instance, the name Gavin means “white hawk,” which adds an offbeat flair. Along with this, the name Cauã means “vulture” as well as “hawk,” so imagery of the vulture is invoked as well.
On the other hand, if you’re looking to imbue a value in your child’s name while still incorporating hawks, that’s possible as well. A name that does this in a lovely way is Astor, meaning “hawk, thunder god.” This shows unmistakable strength. For something completely different, the name Iolani means “royal hawk” which may give your child aspirations to fortune.
Regardless of what culture you’re choosing to reflect in your child’s name, there’s sure to be one that also incorporates hawk imagery. For more ideas, check out the list below.
