If there’s one virtue worth cultivating in a child, it’s honesty. Obviously, one way humans’ need to trust others has taken form is by giving their children names that mean truth, and all in an effort to cultivate this within them. Some of these beautiful names continue to enjoy popularity well into the 21st century, and we’re here to talk a little bit about them.
Game of Thrones lovers will know Arya, which is actually a unisex name of Sanskrit origin meaning “noble, great, and truthful.” Another four-letter name, Miyu, comes from Japan, and it means “beautiful gentleness and truth.” Unlike Arya, though, Miyu is strictly a girl’s name.
One last name we love for girls is Shaquanna; this name originated right here in the U.S. and means “truth in life.” It’s also a relatively original name, having peaked in popularity in the early 1990’s.
Two lovely names for boys only are Denzin and Farouk. Denzin is a name of Slavic origin that means “seeker of truth,” while Farouk is a mellifluous moniker that refers to “one who distinguishes right from wrong.” These names will lend an unmistakable air of nobility to your little boy.
Feel free to check out our list of other names that mean truth right below. You won’t find many names that sound as nice and have such deep and beautiful meanings other than these ones–and that’s the truth!
