Power is often linked with authority and resilience. Perhaps that is why names that mean ‘powerful’ have been among parents’ favorites for decades. Many cultures have taken these names and modeled them into different languages. These names symbolize strength and energy as they highlight great influence and leadership. Hence, these names reflect an impactful personality. Choosing a name with such a meaning may endow the child with unlimited courage and confidence.

The English name Arnold is one of the many popular names that denotes power. It means ‘eagle power’ and has Germanic origin. Also used in other languages such as Dutch and Polish, this name stands in the spotlight because of Arnold Schwarzenegger, a bodybuilder, actor, and politician from the US. Several religious names also carry this beautiful connotation. For instance, Israel from the Bible and Jabbar from the Quran both mean ‘powerful.’ They convey the power of God and are considered strong names. Jabbar is one of the 99 names of Allah in Islam. The modern African American name Jabari is derived from it. In the Quran, the name Qadir is also considered holy as it is associated with Allah.

Veer, taken from Sanskrit, denotes a powerful person. Magni from Norse mythology, Kratos from Greek mythology, Shahrivar from Persian mythology, and Sekhmet from Egyptian mythology are different examples of how long back these names go in different cultures. While these names have ancient origins, they have been adapted into several contemporary languages.
