Sunshine

US Popularity Rank: 4020

Meaning: sunshine

Sunshine is a girl’s name of British origin. This name bears a fairly obvious translation and has a distinctly retro vibe, conjuring the aesthetic of the free-wheeling Seventies, hippies, and the sun-drenched California coast. It has also been known as a beloved nickname but stands out on its own as a given name. Sunshine can remind you of the light of your life: baby. The name can also breed its very own nicknames, like Sunny.
