Baby names that mean strong
By Julia, founder of Lucky Names
Strength does not have to sound like armor.
It is the meaning parents ask for most for sons, and the one they most underestimate for daughters. The names never made that mistake. The whole Andrew dynasty descends from the Greek andreios, strong. Valentina and Valentino carry Latin valens. Ethan has meant firm and enduring in Hebrew since the Psalms. The best of these sound like warmth with a spine.
Each one below comes with its real standing in the official US Social Security Administration records.

Strength ages well. The playground hears a nice name; the courtroom, the cockpit and the delivery room hear the meaning.
