Greek Baby Name Combiner, FAQ

What are popular Greek baby names in 2026?

Popular Greek names for girls include Sofia, Eleni, Maria, Katerina, and Despina, while favorites for boys include Georgios, Dimitris, Nikolaos, Konstantinos, and Yannis. Many Greek names honor Orthodox saints and carry meanings rooted in ancient Greek.

How does Greek naming tradition work?

Greek families traditionally name the first child after the paternal grandparents and the second after the maternal grandparents, so names cycle through generations. Most Greeks are named after an Orthodox saint and celebrate that saint’s "name day" (giorti) as a major occasion, often more than their birthday.

Can you combine two names into a Greek baby name?

Yes. Blending syllables from both parents’ names and adding Greek endings such as -os or -is (boys) or -a, -ia (girls) creates an authentic-sounding result. Many families also use a combined name alongside a saint’s name to honor both tradition and both parents.

What do Greek names mean?

Greek names often carry powerful meanings from ancient Greek, Sofia means "wisdom," Alexandros means "defender of men," and Eleni relates to "light." Choosing by meaning is a beloved part of Greek naming.
