Baby names that mean light

Light is one of the oldest wishes a name can carry: sunlight and dawn light, a lamp or a shining, the first light of morning. Names in this family come from sun words, dawn words and brightness words across many languages — Aadavan, "the sun as the source of light and life", is typical of the oldest layer — and they have stayed popular wherever names are given as blessings.

Light meanings split into dawn names (new beginnings) and sun names (warmth and power). Decide which image you mean before you fall for the sound.
