52

A few years ago parents were prevented from giving their baby the name of that animal, although they finally got the Civil Registry to admit it based on the decision that “social uses are making it a name.”

Curiously, there are several names that refer in some way to this powerful animal, as well as names that we use on a daily basis and were unaware of its origin in the fauna. If you are lovers of the animal kingdom, we give you 25 names of animals you can give your baby , among them Wolf. Do you know any other?

Animal names for girls

  • Lark : bird of melodious song

  • Anuk and Anouk : of Teutonic origin means “wolf”

  • Chenoa : comes from the American Indian and means “white dove”

  • Coral : although there are those who believe that it is a plant, marine corals are colonial animals

  • Débora : of Hebrew origin that means “bee” or “worker like the bee”

  • Dolphin : graceful, beautiful and intelligent sea mammal. However, it also has other origins. In Greek mythology, it is the name of a dragon who was appointed by her mother, Gea, to guard the oracle at Delphi. It also comes from “the dolphin”, (in French Dauphin), a French noble title that was given to the hereditary princes of France or to the wife and, therefore, future queen consort of the dolphin of France, the heir to the French throne.

  • Swallow : the messenger of spring

  • Ibis : stork-like wader

  • Jael : of Hebrew origin, it can mean goat or ibex (unisex name)

  • Leona and Lea : animal with power, majesty and beauty

  • Paloma : of Latin origin ‘palumba’, which means wild pigeon or it derives from ‘columba’ which means pale in color. Many women in Spain are named after the Virgen de la Paloma, “popular patron saint of Madrid” (August 15).

  • Rana : In Spain, according to the INE (National Institute of Statistics) there are 62 women registered with that name

  • Raquel : of Hebrew origin means “the sheep of God”

  • Úrsula : of Latin origin, from “ursus” (bear).

Animal names for boys

  • Arturo : a derived Celtic origin is attributed to him * artos (bear) and * rixs (king), that is to say, “king of the bears”

  • Beltrán : of Germanic origin, it means “illustrious raven” (as a symbol of the god Odin)

  • Dolphin : like Delfina evokes the animal, but it is also the title that was given to the first-born of the King of France.
