Khaleesi

US Popularity Rank: 1383

Origin: American

Meaning: Queen

Khaleesi is a feminine title meaning “queen” in Dothraki, a fictional language created by Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin. This regal appellation was bestowed on Daenerys Targaryen, a strong female character of the series that inspired many parents to name their children Khaleesi. Daenerys' dark turn at the end of the television adaptation may make you wonder if Khaleesi is the right fit for your new arrival. Perhaps baby Khaleesi will be inspired by the beautiful heroine we see at the beginning of the series, who liberated enslaved people and tirelessly earned her power.
