About Albanian Baby Names

Why we built it

Choosing a name is one of the first gifts you give your child. For Albanian families, in Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro and across the diaspora, it is also a way to pass on language, history and family roots.

Most baby-name lists online mix in names from everywhere and rarely explain what an Albanian name means. We wanted one place focused only on Albanian names, explained properly.

What you'll find

Thousands of Albanian boy and girl names, each with its meaning and, where known, its origin and the countries where it is most used.

A free iPhone app where you swipe through names: right for names you like, left for ones you don't. Your favorites stay on your phone, and you can share them with your partner.

Traditional names such as Arben, Besnik and Drita sit next to modern ones, so you can find something that fits your family.

A list that grows with the community

Anyone can suggest a name that is missing. Our team checks every suggestion for spelling and Albanian origin before it is added, so the list stays accurate.
