First name inspiration
These fairytale names are particularly popular
Story time for parents and children: These first names are reminiscent of our favorite stories from our childhood
First names from legends and fairy tales are timeless, sound beautiful – and are now totally trendy again. Here you can see the most beautiful examples!
Anyone who grew up with fairy tales knows how beautiful many of the first names that appear in the stories are. Many legends and fairy tales have been popular for centuries – is it any wonder that the names are also sonorous and timeless? Boss Hoss singer Alec Völkel was also inspired by his fairy tale book and quickly named his daughter “Rosenrot” (nicknamed “Rosie”).
First name inspiration: More than just “Rumpelstiltskin”
Of course, the name inspiration doesn’t just have to come from the Brothers Grimm – after all, there are fairy tales from all over the world that have enchanted people for generations and bring with them their very own name ideas.
Fairytale first names for girls
In addition to our favorite first names in the video above, the following are also available for girls:
- Tiana – This name became world famous thanks to the Disney film “Kiss the Frog”. But he is not an invention of this “Frog Prince” story with the genders swapped – “Tiana” originally comes from Greek and simply means “princess”
- Gretel – As a short form it is rather unusual these days, the name “Margarete” is still a classic that has a beautiful meaning: “child of light”
Fairytale first names for boys:
- Heinrich – yes, okay, at first glance a very old-fashioned name. But that’s exactly why it’s becoming particularly popular again at the moment, because many parents are looking for very classic, traditional first names. After all, everyone wants to be “master of the house” in one way or another – what the name stands for – why not emphasize it with the first name from the “Frog Prince”?
- Eric – Fans of the Disney version of the “Little Mermaid” fell in love with Prince Eric at first sight – and his name is also a good choice beyond the animated classic. “The sole ruler” is the meaning of the name and has many name advantages: “Eric” or “Erik” sound good, are short and will be remembered.
We have put together the most beautiful fairytale first names for you in the video above.
