🌧️ names related to rain?

Name Advice
1

As the title says, what are some names related to the rain?

I am looking for names for both boys and girls. I just can’t get into [name_f]Rain[/name_f] alone, for some reason. I do love Storm/Stormi, Euri and [name_f]Indra[/name_f] to give you an idea of what kind of names I like. I’d prefer word names but any other name is fine as well. Names that have to do with the weather in general, rather than just rain, are also great.

So Berries, what names would you suggest based on the above criteria?

[name_f]Love[/name_f],
[name_f]Scarlet[/name_f]

[name_m]Petrichor[/name_m] is a rare word meaning “the smell produced when rain falls on dry ground”.

[name_f]Ame[/name_f] (Japanese for “rain”) is also quite nice and not unheard of as a first name!

Other ideas:

[name_m]Sky[/name_m]
[name_m]Gale[/name_m]
[name_f]Ciel[/name_f]
[name_f]Misty[/name_f]
Torrent
[name_f]Snow[/name_f]
[name_m]Zephyr[/name_m]
[name_f]Haneul[/name_f]
Iseul (“dew” in Korean, also used as a first name)
[name_f]Lumi[/name_f]
[name_m]Boreas[/name_m]
[name_f]Neige[/name_f]
[name_f]AlizĂŠe[/name_f]
[name_m]Nimbus[/name_m]

[name_f]Lluvia[/name_f] (pron. YOO-vee-uh) is the Spanish word for rain and I’ve heard of it being used as a name!
Another rain related favourite of mine is [name_m]Jorah[/name_m] which means ‘first rain’ or ‘autumn rain.’
Couple other suggestions:
Ekaitza–basque, ‘storm’
Noelani–hawaiian, ‘mists of heaven’
[name_f]Raina[/name_f]- means ‘queen’ but [name_f]Rain[/name_f] could be used as a nickname?

I’ve always thought that if [name_m]Claude[/name_m] works, then [name_m]Cloud[/name_m] could too! [name_f]Nefeli[/name_f] also means “cloudy”, and Audrius is a Lithuanian name that means ‘storm’

In Greek mythology, there’s a set of nymphs called the Hyades (literally meaning ‘the rainy ones’), who bring rain to the world. Some of their names that I think translate well enough are [name_f]Ambrosia[/name_f] / Amvrosia, [name_f]Eudora[/name_f] / [name_f]Eudore[/name_f], Thyone, Phaesyle / Phaisyle / Aesyle, Polyxo, Kleeia / Cleeia, Faio / [name_f]Feo[/name_f] / Phaeo, Dioni / [name_f]Dione[/name_f], and Kleis / Cleis.

Weather-related names that aren’t related to rain:
[name_m]Sundance[/name_m]
[name_f]Sunniva[/name_f] (‘sun gift’)
[name_m]Eliodoro[/name_m] / Heliodora (‘sun gift’)
[name_m]Sorin[/name_m] (‘sun’)
Sunčica (‘sun’ or ‘little sun’)
[name_m]Anatoly[/name_m] (‘sunrise’)
[name_f]Aušrinė[/name_f] (‘of the dawn’)
Aušrius (‘dawn’)
Helve (‘snowflake’)
Iliostalakti (‘slowly dripping with sun’)
[name_f]Nieves[/name_f] (‘snow’)
[name_f]Fjolla[/name_f] (‘fine snow’)
[name_f]Saulė[/name_f] (‘sun’)
Saulėja (‘sun’)
Ihintza (‘dew’)
Rositsa (‘dew’)
[name_f]Rosa[/name_f] (‘dew’, instead of ‘rose’, in some languages!)
Rasa (‘dew’)
[name_m]Elio[/name_m] (‘sun’)
[name_m]Helios[/name_m] (‘sun’)
Elijus (‘sun’)
Hélio (‘sun’)
Haizea (‘wind’)

I’m not sure which is correct, but I do tend to use behindthename for meanings and origins.

I was just going through my notes app and read this: "Mazin ‘rain clouds’ of Arabic origin,‘’ and I remembered this thread! I see @Greyblue already suggested this :blush:

[name_m]Reading[/name_m] @tallemaja’s ideas about [name_m]Claude[/name_m], reminded me that I’ve known a few Claudia’s who PN their names Cloud-ia and I love that! Two are [name_m]Dutch[/name_m] and one Swiss-German.
