What are the most common names for Libras?
The symbol for Libra is a weighing scale and the only inanimate object in the zodiac.
Libra baby names are inspired by ideas of justice, balance, and fairness—incredible qualities to bestow on the little person you’re bringing into the world.
Some of the most in-demand options include:
- Daniel / Danielle: This Biblical name means ‘God is my judge.’
- Justin / Justine: This popular name means ‘fair’ or ‘righteous.’
If your little peanut is destined to stand up for what’s right, you might also gravitate toward girls’ names like Eurydice, Hadiya, or Rashida, which all mean ‘justice.’
For boys, Adel, Saladin, and Zadok have a similar meaning.
And what about the name Libra itself?
Is Libra a girl’s name?
It absolutely is!
The pop artist Peter Max even leaned into the celestial zodiac vibe and named his daughter Libra Astro.
But since the name has never appeared in the U.S. top 1000 baby names, we’d say the chances of having two little girls called Libra in the same kindergarten class are pretty slim.
Librans are associated with the righteous figure of Lady Justice, but they’re also known for their calm personalities and the lifelong, loyal friendships that they make.
