NamePetalWhy we check every meaning
Name sites are full of meanings nobody verified — copied from site to site until a guess looks like a fact. A name is a serious gift: it is the first thing a child owns. So NamePetal works differently. Every meaning in this library is traced to a published source — etymological dictionaries and reference works as gathered by Wikipedia and Wiktionary — and every profile links to its source. Where the sources disagree or a name's origin is genuinely debated, the page says that instead of picking a winner. Popularity figures come straight from the US Social Security Administration's public data.
Start anywhere: search a name you love, wander a shelf from your own heritage, or browse the top 100. If you find a name we've missed — or a meaning you believe is wrong — write to us. Accuracy is the whole point.
