Mexico is a country that’s as diverse as it is beautiful, much like popular Mexican girl names. Today’s Mexican parents love names from around the world, from Italian treasures to Spanish sensations. Connected by Latin roots, these marvelous monikers aren’t a surprise to see thriving in Mexico, as these Romance languages complement one another beautifully and easily flow between cultures. Let’s meet some of today’s most beloved Mexican girl names together.
Many popular girl names in Mexico mirror the charts here in the U.S. You likely recognize Sofia, a wow meaning “wisdom.” Her variant Sophia is more popular stateside, but Sofia‘s holding her own high on the charts here too. Victoria‘s also common in both countries, which isn’t much of a surprise, as this classic is beloved worldwide. The short and sweet Mia is also shared between nations as a favorite girl’s name.
Other popular Mexican names for girls are unique to the country in their super popularity, such as Regina. This Latin “queen” often appears as Maria Regina, an epithet for the Virgin Mary. Mariana is also quite popular in Mexico. A form of Maria, she’s a melodic beauty we’d love to see more in the U.S. Romina is another favorite. Meaning “of Christian lands,” she’s an Arabic stunner. Matching this religious energy is Renata, a popular pick meaning “she who was born again.” Check out Ivana, Aitana, and Yamileth for more.
Cute Mexican girl names shine bright on the country’s popularity charts, including Lucia. Meaning “of the light,” she’s an Italian cutie. Dulce is another darling. Her ” sweet ” meaning certainly fits a precious little one, too. Nina is just darling, too. This “little girl” is eternally youthful and ready to rock the playground.
Unique Mexican girl names are some of our favorites. Among them are place name picks, such as Merida. Mérida is a city in the state of Yucatán that’s home to stunning architecture, including Mérida Cathedral. There’s also Morelia, a city in the country’s central region that’s known for its rich history that dates back to the 1500s. The “lovable” Maite is another sweet Mexican find. Also appearing as Mayte, she’s the name of several beloved Latina celebrities.
