Baby names that mean gift

Gift names say the child is given, not just born: a gift of God in the Hebrew and Greek traditions, a gift of a goddess like Artemas ("gift of Artemis"), or simply a present and an offering. The family includes some of the most travelled names in the catalogue, because every culture that names children as blessings has a word for this one.

Many gift names are theophoric — the giver is named in the meaning. Check whether that giver, God or a goddess of mythology, is the story your family wants.
