Baby names that mean hope

Hope is the smallest family on this page and one of the most deliberate: these names mean hope itself, aspiration, or the expectation of good things, like Amal ("hope and aspiration"). Hope rarely hides inside longer meanings the way love or light does, so a hope name is almost always a chosen statement — parents who pick one usually picked the meaning first.

Because the family is small, look at the full list rather than the popular picks: the right hope name is often the one nobody else in the playground has.
