A lot of future parents opt for weather-inspired baby names due to their unique and strong meanings.
There is a wide range of weather baby names to choose from for both girls and boys. And they all express the beauty of the weather and nature.
Many of the weather baby names are extremely popular. And there are some names like Alizeh, Tadita, and Corentine that parents don’t go for that often.
Uncommon names don’t necessarily mean they are bad or unattractive. Most people simply don’t know about them.
Here are some weather baby names, their origins, and meanings that will hopefully make your choice easier.

Weather Names For Girls
Weather names are more popular than we believe them to be. That’s because we don’t always know the meaning of most names unless they have a direct connection with the language we speak.
For instance, Rain, being one of the famous names in English speaking countries, needs no explaining. However, there are also other variations of the name having the same or similar meaning in different languages.
Examples are Amaya (‘night rain’ in Japanese), Euria (‘rain’ in Basque), and Jora (‘autumn rain’ in Hebrew).
Nature is often called feminine. You’ve surely heard the phrase “Mother Nature,” which gives you a good reason to pick a weather name for your daughter.
