Baby Girl Names That Start With G
When the Romans created the letter G thousands of years ago, who would’ve thought there’d be so many amazing feminine monikers to follow?
Think about it—if it weren’t for the genius of Spurius Carvilius Ruga—the “inventor” of the letter G—there’d be no Gia, Gigi or Gemma to call your own. Luckily, his famous addition to the alphabet has stuck—and now you’ve got a whole range of adorable G-girl names right at your fingertips.
So if you’re ready for a glimpse into what could be your dream moniker, say no more. Find our full roundup of G names for baby below—sparkling then, and sparkling now!

Fun Facts About Girl Names That Start With G
Giselle—more than a supermodel moniker: According to etymologists, Giselle isn’t just a name fresh off the runway—it actually comes from the Old German word gisal, which is thought to be a nickname for a child given as a pledge to a foreign court. It’s also the name of a famous ballet, and is known to have been borne by several royal daughters.
Genevieve’s comeback: Genevieve was a popular choice for girls until the 1930s, when it began to decline in popularity. By the ’70s, it had more or less sunk into obscurity. In 2015, it returned as a top 200 US girl name and has since been considered a retro-inspired staple.
Parents have found their go-to G name: According to the SSA, Grace is one of the few “virtue names” that survived the 20th century and thrived past it. To this day, it remains a top 40 girl name in the US.
