I really love names with bright meanings!

Based on a quick scan of my list, names I found that match this meaning include…

(female)

  • Or (Hebrew) “[name_u]Light[/name_u]”’
  • Akari (Japanese) “[name_u]Light[/name_u]”
  • Alaula (Hawaiian) “[name_u]Light[/name_u] of dawn”
  • Dipa (Sanskrit) “[name_u]Light[/name_u], lamp”
  • Lenka (Slavic) “[name_u]Light[/name_u]”
  • Marcia ([name_f]English[/name_f]) “[name_u]Light[/name_u] of God”

(male)

  • Siraj (Arabic) “[name_u]Light[/name_u], lamp”

Maybe a bit cheaty, but some names that mean “sun”…

(female)

  • Akira (Japanese) “The sun”
  • Arpi (Armenian) “[name_u]Sun[/name_u]”
  • Kalindi (Hindi) “[name_u]Sun[/name_u]”
  • Sunniva (Norwegian) “[name_u]Sun[/name_u] gift”
  • Sunny (Word Name) “Full of sunshine”
