Gemini Baby Names for Girls
Tamsin
If your May baby will be born after the twenty-first, they will be born under the Gemini sign. The twins are the symbol for Gemini, making names that mean “twin” or “twins” a great option. One of our favorites is Tamsin, an English name and short form of Thomasina. The Aramaic root of this appellation means “twin.”
Nasima
The element for Gemini is air. So names that mean “air” or are are-adjacent are perfection. Nasima is an elegant Arabic name that means “breeze” and “fresh air.” Names of Arabic origin are on the rise in the US today and we can’t get enough of this one.
Celeste
Celeste is a name of Greek origin that means “heavenly.” For us, this is a play on the air element. This appellation is one of the best because it encourages us to look at all those constellations in the night sky.
Aura
Yet another name of Greek origin, Aura is a spectacular option. This stunner means “a gentle breeze.”
Zari
As we mentioned the color yellow represents the sign. The Persian name Zari means “golden.” How gorgeous is that?
Buttercup
Buttercup is another celebration of the color yellow. With nature-inspired baby names on the rise, this could be a great fit for parents who want to pay homage to our beautiful planet.
Aria
Aria is an Italian name and musical term that means “on air” or “melody.” The term often refers to a song with solo vocals in an opera. The name is on the rise today and is more popular than ever before.
Lavender
Lavender is a flower associated with the Gemini sign. It’s also a wonderful option as a given name. The name for a purple flower that smells divine. It’s a rare choice in the US today but we see so much potential for it.
Cressida
Cressida is a name of Greek origin that means “gold.” This appellation has never been a popular option in the US but we feel it has a sort of vintage pedigree to it that’s appealing.
Gemini
You can get straight to the point with the name Gemini which is of Latin origin and means “twins.” This name is perfectly unisex and could be a great fit for any baby.
Gemella
Here’s a real gem of a name. Gemella is an Italian name for girls that shares the same root with Gemini. Thus, it means “twins.” It is a rare choice today but could be a great fit for a girl you want to call Gem or Ella.
Linnea
To nail the Swedish pronunciation of this name, say it li-NAY-ah. Isn’t that lovely? This name means “twinflower.” We’re here for it!
Minerva
Geminis are the most intellectual of all of the signs. Minerva is a name of Latin origin that means “intellect.” The name was once vary popular in the US but it fell from favor by the 1970s. We think it has comeback potential as parents just might jump at the chance to use the nickname Minnie.
Xanthe
Pronounced ZAN-thee, Xanthe is a name of Greek origin that means “yellow.” Ancient Greeks used this name as a reference to the goddess Demeter. Unfortunately, this appellation has never been popular in the US.
Flavia
Flavia is an Ancient Latin name that means “golden” and “yellow.” The name was once a popular option for baby girls in the US but that has not been the case since the 1880s!
Roma
Roma is the way Italians say Rome and it is a reference to the founding myth of the ancient city where twins (Romulus and Remus) were cared for by a wolf. Roma used to be a very popular name in the US but WWII changed that for this name. We think it’s time for it to make a comeback.
Sky
Sky is a beautiful, nature-inspired name that can work for both boys and girls. Sky is a boundless appellation that’s more popular today in the US than ever before. Sky is a reference to the air element associated with Gemini. It’s a winner, baby!

Tomas
There are so many excellent options for boys that make the connection to the sign. Tomas, the Spanish and German form of Thomas (also a great option), is of Aramaic origin and means “twin.” That makes it a reference to the twins.
Tavish
If Tomas and Thomas are too mainstream for you, we’ve got your answer with Tavish. The name is the Scottish form of Thomas. Think of it as formal cousin to Hamish. Sadly, Tavish has never been a favored option in the US. We think it’s far too adorable to pass up.
Castor
The twins of the sign of Gemini are named Castor and Pollux. Pollux does not sit right with us for a boy born today, but we find Castor to be a cute options among May baby names. Castor is a name of Greek origin and means “pious.” This name has unfortunately gone virtually unused in the US. But, we things the winds of change are blowing this name into new parents’ consciousness.
Zephyr
Zephyr is a stylish unisex name of Greek origin that means “west wind.” Zephyr is another one of the names with a Gemini connection as the element for the sign is air.
Rome
Rome or Roman are also possibilities as the founding myth of Rome is based on the twins (Romulus and Remus). Both names are fairly popular today and sound timeless as well as fashionable.

Odion is a name of Esan origin commonly heard in Nigeria. The name means “first of twins.” Odion Jude Ighalo is a Nigerian footballer with this name that is lifting its visibility.
Remus
If Rome or Roman felt too well-used to you, you can always go with Remus. A name of Latin origin that has an unknown meaning. Romulus feels like a lot for a baby boy to shoulder but Remus seems more straightforward.
Cato
Geminis are the intellectuals of the zodiac. That makes names with references to wisdom and knowledge fitting. Cato is a name of Latin origin that means “all-knowing.” This name has not been a popular option in the US for over 100 years!

A brother to sister, Nasima, Naseem is a name of Arabic or Urdu origin that means “breeze” and “fresh air.” The name is technically unisex but we love it for baby boys.
Wilder
Only recently becoming popular for babies in the US, Wilder is a fast-climber. The name means “wild” and it is commonly found as a surname. Wilder made us think of Gemini because those born under the sign often seem like they house two personalities in one body. There’s often a “wild side.”
Witt
Now for a witty option! Witt used to be used as a short form of Dewitt but we prefer it solo. Witt means “blonde” and is also a reference to humor and intellect. A double-whammy as a Gemini baby name.
