A meaningful girls name referring to nature and the weather but close to a real name

I want to find a girl's name means something like rain or mist or sea or snow or something natural to do with the weather or water, but that also sounds like a name.

I know there's no end of girls names that come from flowers, but what about from the weather or water?

A few Welsh options that would work in England (assuming that's where you are) - Eira (snow) Tesni (warm sun) Enfys (rainbow, I love this one but probably the trickiest in English!).

Isitsummer2024 · 31/05/2024 14:34

Star, Seren

friendlyoleary · 31/05/2024 14:34

Enya it’s an Irish name meaning grain kernel or little fire

Blueberry40 · 31/05/2024 14:34

Also Onda and Merissa

Blueberry40 · 31/05/2024 14:34

And Morgan is a Welsh name meaning the sea

BrightNewLife · 31/05/2024 14:35

Honey?
May?

A tree name like Rowan or Willow?

Summer is a gorgeous name too!

In Greek, Selene is the goddess of the moon, as is Phoebe

Freya I think is wind and sunshine.

in French “Aurora” is linked to the dawn

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 31/05/2024 14:36

Fern?

These names are so beautiful!
Yes I'm English. Always loved Welsh and Irish sounding names.

I wouldn't choose Irish names on the difficulty of pronunciation for English speakers though.
Eira is a lovely name.
