Word name

"a desire or hope for something to happen; a thing that is wished for"

Wish Origin and Meaning

The name Wish is a girl's name meaning "a desire or hope for something to happen; a thing that is wished for".

A whimsical word name associated with hopes and dreams, with fairy-tales and birthday candles, with wanting the best for someone, and potentially, with a wished for child. Reminiscent in style to the likes of Miracle, Blessing, and Dream, Wish has yet to appear in the US stats, perhaps because parents find it a little too wishy-washy to work as a first name. Time will tell however if it catches on like Destiny, Hope, Desiree, Charm, and Chosen.
