Winter baby names for boys and girls

As wintertime fast approaches, you might be thinking about a baby name that has a winter meaning, especially if your little one is due in December, January or February -- the colder months of the year. We've gathered a variety of winter baby names for you, from mythology, from Christmas and from literature, as well as those inspired by wintry weather. Come check out these wintry baby names -- and their meanings -- for boys and girls!

If you're looking for a winter baby name, consider these -- some come from the name of evergreen trees that are often decorated for Christmas, some come from the Christmas story itself, others come from Christmas or winter literature and still others are nature winter names. Do you love "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens? But is Ebenezer too ... odd for you? Consider Eben, a super cute and modern-sounding version of the classic Christmas name. Is everyone in your December due date club naming naming their daughter Noelle? How about Neve, Neva or Nevada -- they all mean snow.

If these names are a little too unique for a first name, why not consider them for a middle name? Vail would be an excellent middle name for your little boy, or what about Jenarae for a girl?

Whether you're naming your baby after a Roman god or the wintry weather, have fun checking out our winter baby names for boys and girls.
