Names by Meaning
Every name under these headings has a written page whose meaning carries that sense. Nothing here is inferred from how a name looks or sounds.
- Love 40 Names meaning love, beloved, dear or darling.
- Strength 83 Names meaning strong, mighty, firm or powerful.
- Light 93 Names meaning light, bright, shining or radiant.
- Fire 15 Names meaning fire, flame, burning or ember.

- Noble 158 Names meaning noble, royal, ruler or high-born.
- Flowers & Trees 87 Names taken from a flower, tree or plant.
- Gift 50 Names meaning gift, given or granted — almost always a gift from God, which is why this theme runs across Hebrew, Greek and Latin in forms that no longer look related.
How These Lists Are Built
By reading the meanings, not the names. A name appears under Fire because a researched page says its meaning involves fire — not because it contains the letters, and not because something about it feels warm.
That distinction removes more names than it adds. Luke isn't filed under Light: its page says it denotes someone from Lucania and is a place name rather than a description of brightness, and a list built by keyword would have it under Light on every site that publishes one. The rules also veto matches that come after a denial, so a page correcting a popular misreading isn't filed under the reading it's correcting.
