No dictionary has every name, so we added "Request a name": write the name you didn't find and vote on others' requests. The names with the most votes are added first.

Works offline 📴
All names and meanings are inside the app, at home, in the hospital or on the road. Only name requests, voting and sharing need a connection.

No account, no sign-up. Open the app and start searching.

For every mom and dad expecting a baby, in Turkey or abroad, and for anyone curious what their name means. We wish your baby a healthy, happy life 🤍
