About us
Helping parents find a name with meaning
Baby Names Info shares baby names with their meanings, origins, and cultural stories, so you can choose a name you understand and love. It was founded by Emma Wells in Brooklyn, NY.
A name is the first gift a child receives, and one they carry for life.

Why I started Baby Names Info
Hi, I'm Emma Wells, founder and editor of Baby Names Info. As a writer and lifelong lover of language, I created this site to help parents find a name they truly connect with.
Choosing a name is one of the first big decisions you make for your child. A name is more than a label: it carries identity, family heritage, and a story. I wanted one place where parents could see where a name comes from, what it means, and how it is used in its culture or faith.
Today the site covers popular names alongside Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, and Muslim name collections. Whether you want something classic, modern, or rooted in your family's heritage, my goal is to help you choose with confidence.

Every name comes with its meaning and language roots, not just a list of letters.
