94+ Baby Names Meaning Peace, Calm and Tranquility

Baby names meaning peace can be surprisingly diverse because the idea appears directly in Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Sanskrit, Slavic, Germanic and Asian naming traditions. Some names literally mean peace or peaceful, while others include a peace element inside a longer compound. A separate group uses symbols such as doves, olives and serenity, which are peaceful associations rather than direct translations.

This distinction matters because a symbolic peace name should not be presented as though its dictionary meaning is exactly peace. The sections below keep direct meanings, related linguistic forms, historic compounds and modern peace-inspired word names separate so parents can choose the kind of connection they actually want.

Pronunciations below are simple English-friendly guides. Native pronunciation can vary by language, region and family, so culturally specific names are worth checking with a fluent speaker before making a final choice.
