Names of Greek origin

This list gathers names whose origin traces to Greek: the Greek language; many European names come from Greek, often through Latin. Among the most common in our data: Chloe, Jason, Nicholas. The origin describes the word behind a name, not the person who bears it; the same names are used across communities, and a name may reach Malaysia through another language. Only names whose meaning and origin are backed by a source are listed here. See all origins, and the guide to name spellings for why spellings differ.
