Bright Names ✨

Name Advice
1

Oftentimes I find myself searching for names that have meanings that I can only describe as being bright! I feel like compared to some of the berries I am quite bad at researching names, so I figured maybe some of you could help me compile a list of these “bright” names!

[name_u]Bright[/name_u] name meanings :
[name_u]Light[/name_u]
Life
[name_u]Snow[/name_u]
[name_u]Happy[/name_u]
[name_u]Lucky[/name_u]
[name_u]Sun[/name_u] / [name_f]Sunshine[/name_f]
Shining

Some names I’ve found are [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f], [name_f]Lumi[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_m]Lucian[/name_m], and [name_f]Helena[/name_f]! I generally find girl names with these meanings more common, but I would not be opposed to creating a boys list as well! Thank you all in advance!

I love making these kinds of lists! I tried to give ones that hadn’t been mentioned yet:

Avira - Bright
Faina - Shining/alpenglow
Eilo/Eila - Brought, shining light
Harbin - Little before warrior
Apricity - The warmth of the sun in winter
Senna - Brightness
Elior- God is my light
Alora - The Lord is my light
Cassander - Light of man
Beacon - Signal light
Azenor - Light
Aelin - Moon, light
Solas - Light, bright
Siria - Sun-bright, glowing
Miriel - Bright sea
Nera - Candle, light
Kiran - Ray of light
Elouan - Light
Solstice - When the sun stands still
Senara - Light
Valo - Light
Ziri - Moonlight
Liodor - Gift of the sun
Mirri - The sun
Sulien - Sun born

My favorites (aka the ones that I could actually see myself using on real life) are probably Beacon, Faina, Senna, and Valo.
