Meaning: Capital of Brazil

Brasilia is a beautiful girl’s name of Brazilian origin. Known as the capital of Brazil, Brasilia is a name that burns bright with national pride, proving perfect for any baby born in Brasilia city limits. Brasilia—declared Brazil's capital in 1960 after a redesign by Oscar Niemeyer and Lúcio Costa—is also celebrated for its artistic architecture and urban planning. After becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, it beckoned the attention of backpackers from all over the world. Just like the capital they’re named after, may baby Brasilia be a beauty to those who behold them.
