Meaning

Names meaning Warrior

Fighters, protectors, keepers. Names for children who arrive ready for whatever comes. The warrior tradition runs through almost every naming culture: William (resolute protector, from Old Germanic), Alexander (defender of men, from Greek), Cillian (warrior, from Irish), Aoife (the unbeatable warrior of the Ulster Cycle), Valentina (strong, vigorous, from Latin). The names below carry that meaning at their root, which is not the same as carrying it as a personality. Most of them are gentle on the ear — the strength is in the etymology, not the sound.
