Snow is undeniably lovely. When it's snowing outside, it's like glitter falling from the sky. Once it hits the ground, it blankets the earth and makes the world seem quieter, more serene. Snow also reminds us of the holidays, snuggling up by the fireplace with some hot chocolate and celebrating with our loved ones. There are a multitude of reasons to love snow.
So if a baby is born when it's snowing or during the wintertime (or even if new parents just adore snow), we totally recommend naming her with a snow-inspired name! From Eira to Alaska, click ahead for 20 stunning snow-inspired girls' names.
Lumi
Looking for a short name that's still gorgeous? Check out the snow-inspired baby girl name Lumi. It means "snow" in Finnish, which makes it perfect for a wintertime baby.
CRYSTAL
The name Crystal peaked in the 1980s, but we're ready to bring it back as a snow-inspired girl name! It reminds us of the tiny ice crystals that form each unique snowflake.
EIRA
The name Eira is simple yet still elegant. It's ideal for parents who want to name their baby girl after snow because it literally means "snow" in Welsh.
ALASKA
Originating from an Aleut phrase, Alaska is also the name of the 49th state in the United States. Since it snows all months of the year in Alaska, we thought it would be a fitting (and unusual!) name for a baby girl.
ICLYN
The baby girl name Iclyn is thought to have Norwegian roots and mean "icy." Regardless if this is true or not, it definitely makes us think of icicles and snow.
RIKO
We think the Japanese name Riko is downright cute! It's derived from the meaning for "white jasmine," but we think is fitting for a snow-inspired name as well.
BIANCA
A classic 1990s name, Bianca means "white" in Italian. This name is perfect for parents who love fresh snow.
NIEVA
Meaning "it's snowing" in Spanish, Nieva is a name choice that's unusual but dreamy. It has a certain melodic quality to it that we just love.
ELSA
Originally a nickname for the traditional name Elizabeth, Elsa is now a popular name choice on its own. We can thank the Disney movie Frozen for that, as Elsa is the name of the queen of Arendelle with magical icy powers.
ALBA
The baby girl name Alba has a more gender neutral vibe to it, but it is still absolutely stunning. In Latin, it means "bright" and "white," which makes it perfect for parents who want to name their newborn after the snow.
NEVE
Short and sweet, the baby girl name Neve comes from the Gaelic word for "bright." But in Italian and Portuguese, it means "snow," making it a lovely snow-inspired girl name.
FROSTINE
Does the name Frostine remind anyone else of the Candy Land queen who had the same name? Besides that throwback, the name is also French for "freezing." Don't worry though, we doubt girls who have this name will be ice queens!
CANDACE
The name Candace can be spelt in a variety of ways, such as Candyse, Kandace, or Kandice. We like it for parents who want to name their newborn after snow because it means "white" or "pure" in Latin.
IVORY
How sophisticated is the name Ivory? Meaning "white," it definitely makes us think of fresh, white snow!
OLWEN
The elegant name Olwen means "white footprint" in Welsh and originates from a princess in an old Arthurian legend. How fascinating is that?
ASPEN
The name Aspen has a certain vibrancy to it. It's great for parents who are avid skiers because it's the same name as the popular ski destination.
GWEN
Coming from the Celtic word for "white," Gwen is a common name that's oh-so pretty. The feminine name is a lovely choice for a snow-inspired baby name.
NORTH
Yes, the Kardashians really put it on the map, but we have to agree, North is a beautiful name! It makes us think of the North Pole, which also makes us think of snow.
DENVER
The Colorado city is known for being beautiful and snowy. For an edgier name choice that is gender neutral, check out Denver!
ESTÉE
A French name most known for its associated with a cosmetics company, Estée also reminds us of Estes Park, Colorado. This quaint, snowy destination is the base camp for the Rocky Mountain National Park.
