Art transcends languages and cultures. Baby names that mean ‘art’ capture this universality of art and condense it into a single word. Not only do these names capture creativity and beauty, but they also are a great way to express freedom of expression and imagination. Just as art is different for different people, these names are unique and memorable. These names symbolize individuality in a world of imitations. Parents who love art forms like music, painting, dance, or even literature may choose these names. They may also want their children to grow up with a healthy appreciation for art in all their different forms. These names may mean ‘art’ or be names of great artists in certain fields. While the latter may have different meanings, these names are inseparable from art because of the namesake’s great contribution to the field.

Art itself is used as a first name in English. Though it is often used as a short form for Arthur, it can be considered a standalone name representing art itself. The English name Alchemy is another rare choice. Alchemy means ‘the art of transmutation or alloying metals’ and surprisingly has Arabic origins.

Other languages also have names that mean ‘art.’ Kala is a Tamil name that comes from Sanskrit and means ‘art form’ or ‘virtue.’ Ye-Jun in Korean and Yi in Chinese are also great examples of such names. Geiju in Japanese means ‘artistic longevity’ or ‘artistic life.’ The Turkish name Neveser means ‘new work of art.’ All these names offer a glimpse into the widespread use of such names. Mythology and religion contribute to these names, too. Saraswati from Hinduism is the goddess of arts and learning. In Greek mythology, Apollo is the god of art, music, beauty, and wisdom.
