Baby’s on the way and you still haven’t chosen a name? Don’t worry. Each month, Jolibump shares an inspiring selection of baby names for girls and boys. Heard, read, or carefully researched — here’s our list of name ideas for the month of March.
M as in March
Mila
The name Mila has multiple origins. It could be Slavic, linked to the term Milena, meaning “loved by the people”; Germanic, from mil, meaning “generous”; or even Spanish, where it’s said to mean “miracles.” Very common in the Balkans, it took a long time to spread to neighboring regions. However, once it arrived in France, it quickly became a favorite — now ranking among the most popular names. A perfect choice for parents looking for a short and melodic name!
Maxence
The name comes from a Roman emperor of the early 4th century, Maxentius. Maxence is derived from the Latin maximus, meaning “the greatest.” This lovely name is a more original alternative to its better-known variations like Maxime, Max, or Maximilian. A beautiful classic that has remained rather uncommon in recent years…
Our Favorites of the Month
Danie
The name Danie is the feminine form of Daniel and Danielle. It means “God’s judgment” or “God is my judge.” A lovely feminine twist on timeless classics, Danie offers a shorter, more modern take — right in line with the comeback of many retro names! It might also remind you of the famous Game of Thrones character, Daenerys Targaryen…
Arsène
Arsène is still strongly associated with the famous character created by Maurice Leblanc — Arsène Lupin, the iconic gentleman thief whose first adventures were published in 1907. Back then, Arsène was a fairly common name. This charming name comes from the Greek arsenios, meaning “virile” or “powerful.” Rarely used since the 2000s, it’s now slowly making a comeback — moving beyond the literary image long attached to it!
Spanish Inspiration
Alba
The name Alba comes from the Latin word albus, which can be translated as “white.” It’s the feminine version of the lovely name Alban! Still quite rare in France, Alba is a short name with a soft, rounded sound — a beautiful choice that’s sure to suit your little girl perfectly!
Adrian
The name Adrian is the Spanish version of Adrien… Perfect for parents looking for a classic name with a hint of originality and a melodic, slightly Hispanic touch for their baby!
