In hopes of expanding my (quite small) collection, I was wondering if any of you knew of any names pertaining to lighthouses, or perhaps beacons of light? I’ve been searching, but have only found a handful so far.
(I’m also open to names simply related to lighthouses somehow— no need for them to strictly match!)
These come to mind:
[name_u]Brighton[/name_u]
[name_m]Bodie[/name_m]
[name_m]Piers[/name_m]
[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f]
Also, I always think [name_u]Anne[/name_u] of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables because of the lighthouses featured in the movies on PEI, so any name from there comes to mind as well.
Brandaris (Brandaan) - The oldest [name_m]Dutch[/name_m] lighthouse
Texel (Tessel) - [name_m]Dutch[/name_m] island with lighthouse
Ameland (Amelie?) - [name_m]Dutch[/name_m] island with lighthouse
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] - Cabo de São [name_m]Vicente[/name_m] - Portuguese lighthouse
[name_m]Cliff[/name_m], as lighthouses are often located on a cliff.
[name_m]Quirinus[/name_m] Harder was a [name_m]Dutch[/name_m] architect who build multiple lighthouses.
Names with a meaning connected to light(house):
[name_u]Lux[/name_u] (light)
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] (light)
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] (light)
[name_m]Lucian[/name_m] (light)
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] (light)
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] (radiant, shining one)
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] (bright, shining light)
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f] (bright shining one)
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] (torch, shining light)
[name_f]Eileen[/name_f] / [name_f]Aileen[/name_f] (desired, or water, island)
[name_m]Abner[/name_m] (father of light)
[name_u]Phaedra[/name_u] (bright)
[name_u]Senna[/name_u] (brightness)
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] (light)
[name_f]Muriel[/name_f] (of the bright sea)
[name_m]Faro[/name_m] (lighthouse) !!
[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was either [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] or [name_u]Wolf[/name_u] / [name_m]Woolf[/name_m], as [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] [name_m]Woolf[/name_m] wrote a novel called “To the Lighthouse”. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] that counts!
