Baby Names Meaning Sea

Sea-names have a particular pull for coastal families, but their reach is wider than that. The sea in mythology is vast, unpredictable, and alive. This hub gathers names whose root meaning connects to sea, ocean, or wave.

Kai (Hawaiian, Japanese, Frisian, 'sea' in all three), Maris and Marina (Latin), Morgan (Welsh, 'sea-born'), Muir (Scottish Gaelic), Dilys and Dylan (Welsh, 'sea'), Thalassa (Greek), and Yemaya (Yoruba sea goddess) all sit here. The theme crosses every seafaring culture.
