Baby names that begin with the letter L are generally associated with charm and affection. The reason for it is that the letter L is often connected to qualities like love, light, and loyalty. It is the twelfth letter of the Latin alphabet and is used in many languages around the world.

The letter L is full of beautiful names that have deep meanings and cultural importance. For example, Layla is an Arabic name that means 'night,' which suggests beauty and mystery. Layla has been in the top 1000 baby names in the US for decades (1). If you like classic names, Louisa is a great choice. It means 'famous in battle,' making it a strong name. On the trendier side, Lumi, a Finnish name meaning 'snow,' offers a fresh and cool vibe that many modern parents love.

Many famous people also have these names, adding extra inspiration. For instance, Laverne is known by actress Laverne Cox, while Louisa May Alcott is a well-known American novelist.

With so many lovely options, a name starting with L can be the perfect way to express your hopes and dreams for your little one.
