Meaning “dawn,” Aurora is well known for being Sleeping Beauty’s given name. It is also the name of the mystical aurora borealis, otherwise known as the Northern Lights, which much of the U.S. was able to witness recently.

Guinevere

The name alone evokes images of fair maidens and fantastical settings and was also the name of King Arthur’s Queen. The name was often translated into Jennifer, but we think Guinevere is a beautiful option for someone looking for a fantasy-inspired name.

Juno

From Latin meaning “youthful” or “queen of the gods,” this name would be ideal for any little girl. Despite the name being around for centuries, it has grown in popularity over the last two decades or so.

Seraphine

A fantastical take on the traditional Sarah, Seraphine is less common than Seraphina, which is also a stunning name option, making it a great name choice for those who want something unique but not unheard of.

Eowyn

Another name popularized in The Lord of the Rings books, Eowyn, pronounced “ay-oh-wyn” is a nontraditional name rooted in the fantasy genre.

Melisande

Another name that gained attention is Melisandre, which is of Old German and Old French origin and means strong in work and brave strength. The fantasy series Game of Thrones featured a character named Melisandre.

Sorsha

Fans of the 1988 movie Willow will recognize the name Sorsha as the name of the princess in the film. Meaning “bright” or “freedom,” this is a beautiful fantasy name for a girl.

Dauphine

Evoking images of royalty, Dauphine is the name you’re looking for if you want a fantasy name with some French flavor.

Luna

Give your little girl the moon with the name Luna, the choice of Chrissy Teigen and John Legend for their eldest daughter.

If traditional names aren’t for you, there are so many fantasy names to choose from. Search through your favorite books and movies to find the perfect name, or use our list for inspiration.
