Aries Baby Names Catch Fire
Aries names are as fiery, bold, and energetic as the people born under the sign of the ram. Astrology names are a big trend, so would you use any of these for an Aries baby?
The first sign of the zodiac, Aries is the brave and passionate leader of the signs. Powerful boy names and girl names that mean strength and courage would make excellent names for Aries babies.
Symbols connected to Aries offer ample inspiration for Aries baby names. Aries is one of the three fire signs of the zodiac, so fiery names are ideal for an Aries son or daughter, as well as red names, which is the color most strongly connected to Aries.
Aries names also connect to Spring names, as the start of the astrological calendar coincides with the beginning of Spring. Alternatively, you may wish to give your child the name of a notable Aries, whether in tribute to a modern celebrity or historical figure.

Unique Aries Names
Jubal is an intriguing possibility for an Aries son, as it connects to the ram, the symbol of Aries. Jubal means “ram’s horn” and is featured prominently in the Bible. Jubilee is the more commonly used feminine variation of the name that is rising in use.
Easter, which always falls while the sun is in Aries, is a truly unique possibility for a daughter, as fewer than five baby girls were given the name in 2022.
