If you’d like your baby’s name to symbolize the beginning of a new era or a new beginning in general, you may be interested in giving them a name that means “time.” Since this meaning is quite original, you can expect the names on our list to be unique and lesser-known, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, right?
One of our favorite girl names that fall into this category is Aroa, a name of Basque origin meaning “era or time.” Aroa is far from being popular in Spain, and is even less common in America, making it a great pick for parents who value individuality.
We also love the Greek girl names Ambrosia and Hera, which mean “immortality” and “hero or warrior,” respectively. The name Ambrosia garnered popularity in America in the 2010s and yet still manages to be seen as original. Although the name Hera has yet to make waves in the United States, it is a favorite amongst parents who like time-related names, as Hera is linked to the word “hora,” which means a “period of time.”
As for boy names that mean “time,” some of our favorites are Horatio and Zaman. Horatio is a name of Latin origin that means “timekeeper.” And the name Zaman, which is of Arabic origin, means “time, age, or era.”
