Names that mean 'mirror' symbolize clarity, truthfulness, and authenticity. It is because mirrors don't lie. They do not concede facts or distort reality. Instead, they represent the dynamic concepts of duality and illusion, promoting self-realization. Mirrors also imply honesty, transparency, and straightforwardness—qualities every parent would want their child to imbibe.

In Chinese culture, mirrors are believed to reflect evil forces. Hence, they are used to ward off evil spirits and negative energy. Similarly, in Indian culture, mirrors are often placed at the home's entrance, hoping that they will repel negative energy. In contrast, the Japanese consider mirrors as houses for divine spirits.

In European culture, mirrors are considered magical objects that fortune-tellers use to look into a person's future. No wonder many classic fairy tales feature magical mirrors that could show the owner their future. In African cultures, mirrors are seen as gateways to another world, where shamans and healers use them to connect with the spirits of ancestors.

Considering such positive connotations, parents opt for mirror-inspired names for their children. One famous example is the feminine name Aina, which means 'mirror.'
