Horses have mostly been associated with transportation or war. However, these swift animals also hold deep significance in different cultures. Parents often choose names meaning ‘horse’ because they want their child to imbibe the strength and grace of the powerful animal. The Celtics considered white horses sacred and believed horses brought good luck. They also linked horses to female sexuality and empowerment, as Epona, the goddess of fertility, was often shown with horses. In Norse mythology, horses were considered a link between the living and the underworld, as they were believed to guide the dead on their final journey. In many Western countries, the horseshoe is believed to attract good luck. This deep connection between horses and humans is also a reason why these horse-inspired names are prevalent in various cultures.

For instance, the English name Colt, which means ‘young male horse,’ emphasizes the powerful and spirited nature of a young horse. The traditional name Hector finds its roots in different languages which give it multiple meanings. One of its meanings is ‘horse’ in Scottish, highlighting the elegance of this wonderful animal. And it is not only masculine names that refer to horses; feminine names like Roselyn and Ashwika are also inspired by them. Roselyn means ‘a gentle horse’ in German, and Ashwika means ‘someone who is swift as a horse’ in Sanskrit.
