Where can I find baby names based on definition?

Question

I am looking for a website that I can find names based on their meaning rather than picking a name and then finding out what it means. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I look at Babynames.com

You can look at the advanced search and just type in the meaning that you want under the correct box.

Here's the link:

Answer 3

I personally love http://www.behindthename.com/ It's a very accurate site, with namesakes and such, too. You go to the upper right corner of the screen, there's a search bar. Drop down the box that says 'names' to 'meanings' and go from there! You can also find related names, like Charlotte will give you Charles and Charlize.
