From snowy mountain ranges to the warmth of holiday cheer, here are baby names inspired by the very best aspects of Winter.
Winter Names Inspired by Locations
Whether you're inspired by annual ski trips or snowy hikes, there are plenty of beautiful Winter names that you can gather from cold-weather locations. Some of these travel-inspired names include Vail, Alpine, Tahoe, Aspen, Truckee, Sierra, Alaska, Rainier, Juneau, Whitney, Kodiak, and Elias, all of which are associated with mountainous locations that thrive in the snow.

If you love the joyful feeling of the season, try one of these festive names: Noel, Holly, Jack, Nicholas, Tinsel, Elsa, Solstice, Valentine, Carol, Joy, Merry, Rudolph, Wonder, Vixen, Star, Bethel, Donner, Bell, or Dasher.
Winter Names Inspired by Seasonal Plants
Evergreen trees that stand out in the snow, Winter-blooming flowers, and cold-weather herbs all make for stunning baby names, so why not try a unique name inspired by seasonal flora for your own child? Ivy, Freesia, Primrose, Hazel, Rosemary, Alder, Clove, Spruce, Jelena, Pine, Ash, Daphne, Ginger, Cypress, Pansy, and Sequoia are all great options inspired by Winter plants.
Winter Names Inspired by Weather
