712 Sophisticated Latin Unisex Names With Meanings

Latin is a classic Italic language that originated from the Latium region where the city of Rome was founded. Latin unisex names represent the long-standing linguistic and literary history of Ancient Rome. These names have played a significant role in European naming practices and continue to influence modern languages. Latin names include the praenomina (first name), nomen (second name, often denoting a person’s gen or clan), which ends in ‘ius,’ ‘us,’ ‘aius,’ ‘eius,’ ‘eus,’ or ‘aeus,’ and cognomen (nickname), which typically ends with ‘a,’ ‘o,’ or ‘io.’

Latin is the root of several scientific or binomial names of flora and fauna (1). Thus, unisex baby names such as Cardinal, referring to the ‘bright red bird,’ and Sylvania, meaning ‘wood forest,’ tend to draw from nature. Latin unisex names also draw from the names of places, religious figures, saints, and mythological deities. They have spiritual, mystical, celestial, and personal meanings and depict the qualities parents want their children to possess.

While most Latin names clearly distinguish between masculine and feminine names, some have become gender-neutral in current usage. The following list includes unique Latin unisex names that are the epitome of sophistication.
