40 Pretty Names That Mean Princess (2024)

Your sweet little girl is your everything. You adore her and would give your life to make sure that she is happy. Your princess has you wrapped around her little finger. She is treated like royalty and needs a name to match.

Alyssa is a popular name of Greek origin, simply meaning ‘princess’, as does Sarah, an equally popular Hebrew name. Although the names have a simple meaning, it doesn’t detract from the devotion you feel toward her.

However, perhaps you would like something a bit more inspirational for your daughter. A reminder that princesses can be strong and fierce as well as beautiful. In that case, you should look towards older cultures for names.

Adalina, an Old German name, means ‘dragon princess’ and might be a great nod toward your love of Game of Thrones without being too obvious about it. Or, looking to Latin, Camilla is a lovely name meaning ‘princess warrior’ and has a more modern feeling to it.

If those don’t quite capture the regality of your daughter, Diana meaning ‘moon princess’ was also the name of the Roman goddess of the moon and a fitting promotion from the simple title of princess.

No matter the name you choose, your daughter will feel like a princess every time she experiences your love and support and will have the confidence to rule over her kingdom (your household) with grace and dignity.
