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?

Mara Maris means star of the sea, so could use either

We know a child called Sunny. Mara means sea in Scottish gaelic

Sorry I meant Stella Maris (star of the sea)

Mara also means sea

Why do so many people misspell this name when the whole point of it is that it's 'heaven' backwards?!

This is a beautiful name

There’s so many names related to weather and/or water in terms of meaning but if you want ones that are actually words (like flower or tree names Daisy, Willow etc), then I think you are limited to Raine, Misty, Lake, Brooke, River, Oceane and Marina? Of those the only one that doesn’t feel a bit dated or hippyish to me is Marina - which is very international and imo quite elegant sounding (and Shakespearean).

If you just want water related meaning then my personal faves are Morwenna, Morgana, Nereia, and Shakespearean Nerissa.

Special kind of refreshing summer breeze called “Meltem” in Turkish.
I’m sure proper Turkish speakers will correct me.
Also Yagmur (don’t pronounce the g) - rain. Again, might be worth checking the spelling 😅

I taught a lovely wee boy once called keanu:… means “cool breeze” in Hawaiian I think? Perfect name for him

MeanLeanRunnerbean · 31/05/2024 22:28

Iris? A beautiful name which means rainbow

shockthemonkey · 31/05/2024 22:28

Wow, two breezy suggestions cross-posted

Love previous suggestions of Eira, Neve / Niamh, Seren, Alba, Talia and Mara - all so lovely.

Marine, which is a French girl's name.
Flora
There's an Irish name which sounds like "breeze", but I'm not sure how it's spelt - Breidg maybe? Hoping someone more knowledgeable can help out.
