Dream Origin and Meaning

The name Dream is a girl's name meaning "cherished ambition or hope; thoughts and images experienced during sleep; ideal".

A whimsical and serene feeling word name, bestowed to reflect the joy and perfection parents might find in their children and the ambitions they have for them. Once a fantastical and celebrity-only feeling option, Dream came into popular usage after Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna chose it for their daughter in 2016.

Ten times more popular than it was a decade ago, Dream was given to 920 girls — and 50 boys — in 2023, placing it in the US Top 500, where it ranks alongside Journey and Miracle. In the Top 1000 since 2017, it has since been joined by spelling variation Jream, given to surprising 350 babies each year.

If you love the idea of Dream but want something a little more grounded, the Irish name Aisling (or Aislinn, Ashlyn, or Ashling) also means "dream" or "vision", while Nadia and Nadine meaning "hope". If you like the dreaminess but not the popularity, there's Winsome, Whimsy, and Moon.
