Mist is something that can add a sense of magic wherever it rolls in. If you grew up somewhere that’s very misty, or you just love the aesthetic of mist gently floating from the sky, a great way to honor that is with your child’s name.
There are many names that simply mean “mist,” like the name Terhi. Keeping this imagery simple can be very striking, and may seem as mysterious as mist can be. Similarly, the name Miglé means “foggy, misty,” which are images that are very congruent in nature.
If you’re looking for a name that has even more nature imagery, Kasumi means “mist” as well as “flower blossom.” This will evoke images of beautiful bouquets and pretty misty afternoons. This name isn’t very popular in the United States, so it will also make your daughter stand out immediately.
If you were hoping to also incorporate faith, or a symbol of faith, as well as mist in your child’s name, there are choices for that as well. A great example of this is the name Noelani which means “heavenly mist.”
Mist is a natural wonder that brings a sense of beauty and magic wherever it goes. If this is something that you want to evoke whenever your child is talked about, check out the list below for even more ideas.
