Names that mean 'light'

Because I am the most extra person in the whole world, I want all of my babies names to mean something and then have a common theme as well, so we have an Everly Aurora (northern lights), Orion (star light) Arthur and Aurelia (northern lights again) Rowan. Sooo I need a name that has a light connotation, that also goes with the middle name October :)

I haven't found any that I like! I really need help! It is for a boy but im okay with gender neutral names :) thanks so much!

Helen is Greek and means light/shining light /bright.

Agustarella · 09/11/2017 21:40

Just in case the OP wants to call her DS Helena/Helen/Eleanor, I think those names mean 'wicker basket'.

Though to be fair, wicker baskets are pretty light! Smile
