Origin: Sanskrit

Meaning: Of Yoddha; Hero; Warrior; Of Yodea; One who knows

Brimming with intergalactic charm, Yoda is the perfect name for your little Jedi. This masculine moniker means "hero," "warrior," and "one who knows" after Sanskrit Yoddha and Hebrew Yodea. If you're a Star Wars fan, you'll love that it's shared with a legendary Jedi Master who's small but mighty. In the film series, Yoda helps Luke Skywalker learn the ways of the Force from his swamp planet of Dagobah and later returns as a Force spirit. Baby Yoda—yours, in particular—will be wise beyond their years and become a hero in their own right!
