Bengali baby girl names have a deep traditional connection and carry cultural significance. So, new parents tend to give their children influenced by traditions, colonial rule, and those trending in the modern era.

Bengal has a rich history and tradition that dates back to ancient times. It has been influenced by several cultures and religions, including Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. Currently, West Bengal, a part of India, follows Hinduism, while Bangladesh is an independent Islamic country. As such, Bengali girl names reflect the traditions followed by these religions. Though both are in separate countries, the culture followed by both these regions is similar to each other. This rich tapestry of culture and tradition is evident in the girl names originating in the region.

In West Bengal, Goddess Kali is worshiped ardently every year. The name is also a popular choice among baby girls' parents and others that celebrate feminine power and grace, such as Durga, Shakti, Baruni, Bibhuti, Bhoomika, and Devi. Moreover, Bengali history is replete with literary geniuses such as Rabindranath Tagore and Kazi Nazrul Islam. Hence, literary names like Rabindra, Labanya, Arpita, and Sharmistha are symbols of their cultural pride.

History lovers can also go for Sarada, inspired by Sarada Devi, the wife and spiritual consort of the Hindu mystic Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Subhashini, after the Indian freedom fighter Subhash Chandra Bose. You can also celebrate the richness of nature by naming your daughters after the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers. Names like Gangalahari, Jhanvi, and Trijama are tributes to these great rivers that nurture and nourish India.
In Bangladesh, Bengali girl names include Aadhila, Tanzima, Tamashi, and Tasbi, which are usually names dedicated to God.

Bengali baby girl names also celebrate specific characteristics. Mishti, meaning ‘sweet,’ Jhumpa, meaning ‘charming,’ Ranjini, meaning ‘pleasing,’ and Sushmita, meaning ‘sweet smile,’ are common names for girls in Bengal. In modern times, names such as Aanya, Aanshi, Aarvi, Naisha, Piyali, Prisha, and Tanaya have become popular.
