Baby names that mean love

Names that mean love are chosen in almost every naming tradition, and they take several shapes: names that say love outright, names built on beloved and lovable, and names for a lover or a loved person, like Agapantha ("love flower"). Because the word hides inside longer meanings — beloved, lovable, lover — this family is larger and more varied than a first search suggests.

A love name states its meaning every time it is explained, so pick the form whose story you want told: the direct declaration, or the softer beloved.
