Spring babies are just different. There is something about a child born when the world is waking up — when everything is blooming and bright and full of new energy — that makes their name feel extra important.
Easter is one of the most beautiful times of the year to be born. And whether your family celebrates it as a religious holiday, a seasonal tradition, or simply as the moment the cold finally breaks and the flowers come back, there are so many incredible names connected to this time of year.
I pulled from everywhere for this list. Biblical names with real depth. Nature names that carry spring in their meaning. Mythological names tied to renewal and light. And a few hidden gems that no one else is using yet.
If your baby is arriving around Easter, this list was made for them.
