Hippie Baby Names We Love

Looking for hippie baby names? Whether you’re honoring your own flower child roots or simply love names inspired by nature, peace, and free-spirited living, this list is full of meaningful ideas.

Many of today’s favorite “hippie” baby names go beyond the 1960s counterculture movement. They reflect values that never go out of style: kindness, creativity, connection to the earth, individuality, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of everyday life.

From botanical names and peaceful virtue names to music-inspired picks and gender-neutral favorites, these hippie baby names offer plenty of inspiration for your little free spirit.

While the hippie movement of the 1960s embraced peace, environmental stewardship, creativity, and Eastern philosophies, modern bohemian parents often choose these names because they capture the same sense of wonder and authenticity.

After all, a name is one of the first gifts we give our children. Choosing one rooted in harmony, courage, nature, or love can be a beautiful reflection of the hopes you carry for the life ahead.

In the same vein as the above, this more specific flower name comes from the Old English word: dægeseage, which means”day’s eye”. Katy Perry seems to have been a fan, as she named her daughter Daisy. If flower names are peaking your interest, check out some more botanical baby names here.

An English name meaning perfect unity, Harmony typically refers to music. It also means agreement or concord. Harmony makes a sweet hippie girl’s name or middle name.

Your mind may go to Netflix’s “You”, but we think this is one of the sweetest four letter baby names out there, even if the character from the hit series who shares the moniker doesn’t exactly leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.

Karma 
Karma as a name is of Hindi and Sanskritorigin meaning “fate or destiny”. In Buddhism and Hinduism, karma is the inevitable effect of actions during life. It’s also been a name embraced by celebs of late. 

Music & Counterculture Names

Jack 
If you like names that are short and sweet like the above, Jack makes for a great hippie baby name option. Inspired by Jack Kerouac, a writer who pioneered the Beat Generation in the 1950s.

Prima
So much of the art and writing that came out of the Beat Generation, shaped the culture around it. That’s why Diane di Prima, a female beat poetry writer inspired this hippie baby name addition. 

Hendrix 
Widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century, we think either Jimi or Hendrix could make great name choices for your little one. 

Janis
One meaning for Janis is: to be gracious or to show favor. It has landed on our list of hippie names though, to honor Janis Joplin, a singer who rose to fame in the late 1960s, known for her powerful, blues-inspired vocals. The name Janis (or her last name Joplin) could represent authenticity, passion, and fearless self-expression.

While Dylan is of Welsh origin meaning “son of the sea,” many associate it with singer-songwriter Bob Dylan and the folk movement of the 1960s. Thoughtful and timeless, it suits little ones with an independent spirit and a love of storytelling.

Cassady
Inspired by Neal Cassady of the Beat Generation, Cassady (or Cassidy) evokes adventure, curiosity, and a refusal to follow the conventional path. Though originally an Irish surname meaning “curly-haired,” it has evolved into a versatile name with a spirited, bohemian edge.

Celestial & Free-Spirit Names

Rainbow 
A symbol of inclusiveness and cohesion, Rainbow could make a great first or middle name option. Some also believe that rainbows symbolize a loved one’s passing from this world to the next. So, if you didn’t want your child to share the name of a lost loved one, but wanted to honor them, this could be a nice way to go. 

Crystal 
The name Crystal is of Greek origin. Some people like to use crystals to heal their own energy or the energy around them. Hippies also like to wear crystals as jewelry, so that the stones can ward off negativity or promote positivity.
