Baby Names Meaning Peace

Names meaning peace carry a gentle, hopeful wish: that a child will find calm within and bring harmony to the world around them. Peace names feel soothing and timeless, and they span nearly every culture and faith — fitting, since the longing for peace is universal. Gathered from Hebrew, Latin, Arabic, Sanskrit and beyond, these names mean 'peace', 'calm', 'olive branch' (the ancient peace symbol) or 'tranquillity', each noted with its origin. Here are the most beautiful names to bless a child with peace.

Some peace names come straight from words for peace — the Hebrew shalom and Arabic salam family give us Salome, Salama and more. Others use the olive branch, the oldest symbol of peace, as in Olivia and Oliver.

Peace names pair beautifully with light and hope names for siblings, building a calm, optimistic set.
