Selecting a name for your child that is associated with the concept of the soul is a beautiful option that has been popular in cultures throughout time. Honoring the spiritual nature of your little one is a great way to begin their life’s journey. There are plenty of different names with this meaning to choose from for both boys and girls, so take some time to go over your options.
For a girl, start by looking at the name Janan, which means “one with a soulful heart.” This beautiful name offers the rare combination of being uncommon, but still easy to read and pronounce. If you want a name for your little girl that is more traditional, you could choose Judith (also spelled Judeth). This name has a meaning of “one with a passionate soul.”
If you are having a boy, a name that means, “the soul of the heart,” is Oberon. Oberon was also the name of the king of fairies in medieval literature, which gives it a fun and interesting background. For a name that is even more unique, see how Veselin sounds to you. This is another name for a male baby that has a beautiful pronunciation (Ve-se-lin or Ves-el-in) and comes from the Slavic culture.
