Element Baby Names

Humans have been fascinated by fire since the dawn of civilization. The earliest estimated interaction with fire is believed to be approximately 1.5 million years ago! This occurred in Africa and is marked as the first state of human-fire interaction. Fire has been critical to evolution and is just as vital to daily life now as it was then. Though today, fire isn’t seen solely as the ultimate tool or the perfect setting for spooky stories. Fire is connoted with strength, anger, passion, and generally strong emotions. It is a potent element, and choosing a fire baby name is to give baby the key ingredient to engaging with their inner tenacity.

Air baby names are the subtle gems of the world. They embrace the gentle winds and tempests alike, giving baby comfort no matter what mood strikes. In Pagan and Wiccan traditions, the air element is symbolic of the power of the mind and the breath. It is seen as a manifestation of movement, communication, sound, and freshness. Sound is invisible, just like air. But trusting the air for nourishment and life is as natural as, well, breathing. An air baby name will keep the dreamer and thinker alive in baby no matter where they are or what they believe in.

The earth is the magical, beautiful home to billions of humans, over two million species of animals—that we know of—and approximately 400,000 types of plants known to science. If that isn’t a heady reminder of grounding down and appreciating the life around you, what is? This planet is brimming, buzzing, and bursting with energy! By giving baby an earth baby name, you’re giving them the whole world to be inspired by.

Water covers about 71% of the earth’s surface. This number includes oceans, rivers, lakes, creeks, and all the little drips in between; however, the ocean does makeup approximately 96% of the world’s water. The temperament of these different sources of water ranges widely. From the raging seas to the calm trickles of streams through the forest, water molds to fit any circumstance. But choosing a water baby name certainly isn’t a name to convince baby to take whatever shape others see fit; water is also the element that takes its time and makes room for itself. Choosing a water baby name is choosing unrivaled flexibility and quiet power.
