Naming your baby is probably one of the first things that came to mind when you found out you were expecting. Your home may have even been the first thing you thought about – whether it was preparation for the baby, or what it was going to be like to have a baby in the house. Home is something at the forefront of any parent’s mind, so many want to honor it with their child’s name.
Names that simply mean “home” include Hama as well as Haimo. Both names are quite unique and will stand out in the United States, which will make your child memorable even when they’re invoking something deeply familiar.
There are also many names that combine the idea of home together with other values, which give them unique meanings. For example, Henry – meaning “home ruler” – will evoke images of power and strength. Another example is Bolanle, which means “finds wealth at home.” Having a name like this may make your child aspire to fortune.
If you want to remind your child of home even when they end up going very far away, the name Bambidele means “follow me home.” This will show that you think of your child as a North Star, and they’ll always be able to find their way home.
Home is something that’s important across cultures, and what better way to honor yours than with your child’s name? Check out the list below for more ideas.
