Vietnam is a stunning place and so of course, Vietnamese names are equally as beautiful.
We know how exciting and hard it can be deciding on a name for your baby girl and there are so many baby names available now, choosing is even harder! We at Kidadl want to help, so we've compiled a list of wonderful baby names from originating in Vietnam. There are some popular names and some unique names, so we hope they help.
Most Vietnamese people use their middle name because their last name typically matches the name of the emperor at the time, to show loyalty. So there are some really unique names. Often, two names will be combined together to create a special meaning, like flower.
Check out these Vietnamese names that have meanings in spirituality, nature, beauty, and desired qualities. Looking for a middle name to match? Then check out our blogs from different part of the world, like our Thai girl baby names, or something from the other part of the world with our unique Norwegian baby girl names.
