Geographical Baby Names

For a baby name that will stand the test of time, look no further than one of the oldest things you know: the Earth itself. From geographical features and bodies of water to countries and cities, the Earth yields some of the most unique and sophisticated baby names around. Most names are unisex, and all are listed in alphabetical order by category: Geographical Feature/Settlements, Rivers, Lakes, Seas/Oceans, Countries, and Cities. Most are English words or place names. A few are in the language in which the geographical feature was named.
