If you’re anticipating the arrival of your little one in April or May (specifically between April 20th and May 20th), there’s a good chance they will be a Taurus: The Bull. Whether you’re deeply into astrology or just check your horoscope for fun, exploring the traits, characteristics, and symbols linked to your baby’s astrological sign can be an enjoyable experience.
Individuals born under the Taurus sign are often recognized for their steadfast loyalty, strong will, and patience. They generally exhibit a calm demeanor but thrive best with a sense of security and stability—something all children need, right? When your little Taurus enters your life, you may want to select a name that embodies the essence of their sign. Here are some top picks:
- April: A straightforward choice, naming your baby after the month of their birth is a lovely tribute. April is derived from the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite, which adds an extra layer of meaning. Notable Taureans born in April include some famous figures like Queen Victoria and David Beckham. For those born later in the Taurus cycle, consider Mae or Maya.
- Daisy: The official flower for April, the daisy symbolizes the innocent joy of childhood. The name originates from Old English “daeges-eaye,” meaning “day’s eye,” reflecting its habit of opening in sunlight and closing at night.
- Lily: May’s birth flower is Lily of the Valley, celebrated for its delicate, fragrant blossoms. It represents sweetness and purity, making it a wonderful name for your little one. Alternatives like Lilia or the playful Lil can also work.
- Gaia: As Taurus is an earth sign, honoring this trait with a name that translates to “earth” is fitting. In Greek mythology, Gaia personified the Earth and mothered all life.
- Orla: Yellow, the birth color of April and May, symbolizes the return of sunshine after winter. Although Orla doesn’t directly reference yellow, its meaning—“golden princess”—is truly enchanting.
- Serena: While Taureans can occasionally be fiery, they often exhibit a calm and tranquil demeanor. The name Serena embodies this quality perfectly.
- Ceres: Once thought to be ruled by Venus, Taurus is now linked to Ceres, a dwarf planet whose name signifies “to grow.”
- True: Taureans are known for their loyalty and enduring friendships. Thus, this modern virtue name—“true blue”—is a fitting choice.
- Emerald: As May’s birthstone and Taurus’s lucky gem, emeralds are associated with eloquence and intuition. Historically, they were believed to enhance foresight when placed under the tongue.
- Taurus: If you want to make a bold statement about your child’s strong, loyal, and down-to-earth nature, consider naming them after the sign itself. Taurus is one of the oldest constellations, with roots tracing back to the early Bronze Age.
- Angus: This name means “the bull” in Latin, aligning perfectly with Taurus symbolism. Angus is also a recognized breed of bull, known for its quality.
- Ethan: Meaning “enduring strength,” this name reflects the resilience associated with both bulls and Taureans.
- Clay: A name that connects deeply to the earth, Clay symbolizes your little Taurus’s grounded nature. For a more formal option, consider Clayton.
- Demetrius: This name means “follower of Demeter,” the Greek goddess of harvest and fertility, reinforcing the earth sign connection.
- Dillon: Often associated with loyalty, Dillon is derived from an Irish-Gaelic surname meaning “loyal.” Similarly, the Arabic name Siddiq (or Sadiq) conveys the idea of devotion and truthfulness.
- Ferdinand: For a whimsical touch, consider naming your child after the gentle bull from Munro Leaf’s beloved story who prefers to smell flowers over fighting.
