Royal Baby Names
Discover elegant baby names inspired by kings, queens, princes and princesses, from timeless royal classics to beautiful names worn by a new generation of royals today.

Look beyond the British Royal Family and the inspiration becomes even richer. Contemporary European royal families introduce beautiful names such as Leonor, Sofía, Estelle, Oscar, Jacques and Gabriella.
Whether you love traditional names with centuries of history or simply want something elegant, graceful and distinctive, royal family trees are full of inspiration.

Why Royal Names Never Really Go Out of Style
Royal family trees naturally preserve names across generations. A name may disappear from everyday popularity for a while, then feel fresh again when it is chosen for a new prince or princess.
That is part of the appeal of names such as Arthur, Louis, Eleanor, Beatrice and Victoria. They carry history, but they are not tied to only one era.
And you do not need to choose an obviously traditional name to capture that feeling. Contemporary royal choices such as Estelle, Leonor and Gabriella bring a softer, more international interpretation of regal style.
