Baby Names Rooted in Nature

Nature-naming is the softest, broadest family in the book. This hub collects names whose root meaning is the natural world at large, when no single element (river, tree, star) fits.

Meadow, Willow, Heath, Dale, Glen, Brook, English place-name-as-given-name picks have become a major force in modern naming. Alongside them sit Kailani (Hawaiian, 'sea and sky'), Tierra (Spanish, 'earth'), and Gaia (Greek earth goddess).
