Baby girl names that start with R have deep spiritual associations. As a symbol of rebirth and renewal, the letter R influences one’s inner strength, resilience, and optimism. These qualities have ensured that R-letter girl names such as Rachel, meaning ‘ewe,' Riley, meaning ‘rye clearing,' Rebecca, meaning ‘join,' and Reagan, meaning ‘king,’ remain among the top names over two decades (1) (2).
Derived from the Phoenician letter ‘resh,’ meaning ‘head,’ and the Greek ‘rho,’ the letter R was adopted into the Latin alphabet as the eighteenth letter. However, the letter derived its distinguishable form from P in the 3rd century BC when Romans added the descending stroke (3). The letter has evolved in pronunciation, and its usage has changed across cultures over the centuries. For instance, the use of R at the end of names has been completely dropped in England unlike in certain other parts of the world, while names with ‘rh’ such as Rhebekka and Rhachel remain unique to Greece.
So whether you are looking for a contemporary R name with a regular spelling or a name with such distinct features from around the globe, we list it all. Explore the following list and find an R name with a radiant meaning for your little princess.
