Many people describe life as a journey of discovery. If you want to encourage your child to search for meaning and adventure, you might want to give them a name meaning “seeker.” Names with this meaning are more common in eastern cultures, though there are some western names with similar meanings.
Talib is the most common seeker name. It’s an Arabic boys’ name that translates to “seeker of knowledge.” The feminine form, Taliba, can also be used for a girl. The Hindi boys’ name Satyesu similarly means “seeker of truth.” This is a fairly rare name that will make your baby stand out. Anveshak is another Hindi boys’ name that might appeal to you. It simply means “seeker.”
A Hindi girls’ name you might consider is Brahmacharini. This name means “seeker of Brahman.” In Hindu philosophy, Brahman is believed to be the universal principle behind all reality. Understanding this concept is thought to be the ultimate form of spiritual connectedness and enlightenment.
If you’re looking for European names with a similar meaning, there are a few options. Seeker is a less common meaning, but it is very close to the concept of “wanderer.” Csaba is a Hungarian name meaning “wandering shepherd.” It is famous due to a mythic story about a warrior prince fo the same name.
For girls, you might choose the Celtic name Deirdra, or Deirdre. This lovely but melancholy name means “sorrowful wanderer.”
