How names qualify
A name is listed when a girl record in our data has a meaning that contains a word for “love” in a usable position: not negated, and not about a namesake or a title. The sex is the one recorded for that meaning, so a name appears here only through its girl record. Names are ordered by how clearly the wording states the meaning, then by SSA 2024 births for girls.
Wording that matched, with the number of names: beloved (46), love (45), loving (20), lover (10), loved (9), sweetheart (6), loves (5), darling (3). The matched wording is quoted for every name.
138 of the 145 names come from the Muslim-names dataset (Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Turkish, Kurdish and related origins). Names from other traditions appear only where their recorded meaning fits the rule.
Each row shows the meaning recorded for that name in our data. A name can have other meanings and other origins.
