Meaning: Wonder, miracle; Awe, admiration; To be curious

Wonder is a modern, feminine name gripping the hearts of US parents—and rightly so, for what could surpass the wonder that is baby? The word wonder stems from Old English and Old Dutch, ultimately derived from the Proto-Germanic wundrą, with a fleet of endearments for your prodigy to carry. From the evident “wonder” and “miracle” to the lofty “awe” and “admiration,” Wonder celebrates all that is baby. Also bearing the sentiment “to be curious,” Wonder may inspire a passionate desire for knowledge and adventure.
