Names carry a lot of weight behind them – especially ones with thoughtful meanings. Names that mean grass, hill, trees, and other natural meanings are a great way to forge an early connection between your child and the planet we all live on.
Names that connect humans and nature like Bentley, which means “grass clearing,” Autumn, and Azure, which is the color of the sky, are perfect for growing conscientious and connected adults that are in touch with themselves and the world around them.
Other names with natural meanings like Brooke, which means “tiny stream”, Ash, which is a strong and sturdy tree, and Birk, which is Scottish for Birch tree, are excellent names that can soak up all the nutrients in the air, water, and soil around them.
When looking for the perfect name for the baby that’s about to rock your entire world, it’s important to consider not only how the name is spelled and how it sounds, but also the meaning behind it. Check out our list of nature-inspired baby names that will help your child forge a connection with Mother Nature and the beautiful planet we were all lucky enough to be born on.
