Best Victorian Baby Girl Names from the 1800s
Alexandra
With a Greek origin, this name means defending men. There are quite a few nicknames to choose from as well including, Alex, Lexi, Lex, Allie, Xan, and Xandra. In other forms, this name can be used for boys as well.
Beatrice
Names like this one that were used long ago are coming back in popularity. A cute little girl nickname is Bea. Bea means she who brings happiness, which is very fitting in this case!
Charlotte
This girl’s name has made the top of the list in several categories of names. Common nicknames include Char and Lottie. It’s actually a French diminutive of Charles and means free man.
Eleanor
What a beautiful choice! You may be reminded of the little French girl who got into all the mischief on the popular tv show. This is an English name that means bright or shining one.
Josephine
Another French girl’s name that is timeless. If you are going to choose a nickname, let us recommend Jo or Josie.
Mabel
This baby girl’s name was actually in the top 20s during the 1800s. It comes from a Latin origin meaning lovable. How appropriate, right?
Sophia
Even though this name originated long ago, it made a comeback in the mid 2000s. Sophie would be a great nickname, and there are several different spellings you could use.
Victoria
It wouldn’t even be right if we didn’t include this name for the best of this category. After all, it was Queen Victoria who was reigning, and the era is named in her honor. From Latin origin, it means victory. Nicknames include Vicky and Tori, along with other variations in spelling. Since the Queen, there are many other well known females who have carried this name, including Victoria Beckham and even the popular retail store, Victoria’s Secret!
