The Best Travel-inspired Baby Names

Picking a name for your baby is a daunting, nearly impossible task for most of us. If you’re anything like me, you want to find a unique baby name that means something to you!!!! Whether you want it to be strong and classic, or one-of-a-kind unique, you want it to spark you, and sometimes, you just need to see some more options!! When we were coming up with our baby boy’s name, I scoured the internet for ALL the names and tried to see which ones spoke to me. We wanted an ode to travel, and I didn’t find a ton of travel-related baby name sites that I resonated with for GOOD baby name options that spoke to travel lovers like us! SO, I made this list of all of the best ones. Enjoy!!!

THE BEST TRAVEL-INSPIRED BABY BOY NAMES

Rome – This is one of the best travel baby boy names in my opinion. You could make the formal form ‘Roman’ and call him Rome. It also makes a beautiful middle name! Rome to me conjures up images of ancient Rome, the Romans, history, and Italy. Strong and handsome!

Jet – This one is for the boys that are born to jet-set.

Rio – this name could be for ‘river’ or for Brazil’s most famous city, Rio! Could be a fun middle name, too.

West – West is an ode to the Wild West, exploration and finding a new frontier. You could make the formal form Weston, or keep it as West.

East or Easton – Maybe you and your family are from the East coast, or you just love this name!

Christopher – while this name is a classic, it also has a travel meaning! Christopher is the patron saint of travel

Noah – another classic that has a travel meaning. Noah means ‘wandering’.

Hudson – named for the Hudson River, this is such a strong name for a baby with New York roots!

Sawyer – this name is named after the protagonist adventurer in Mark Twain’s books.
