Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the Swiss rules about baby names?
Naming rules in Switzerland are quite strict and require authority approval. Names appearing insulting, laughable, and offensive are considered harmful to the child’s well-being and are thus forbidden. Brand names and names of villainous examples from the bible are also forbidden, along with names of places. Using surnames as first names, adding numbers to names, and making up new names for the child is also not permitted. In addition, one cannot be given the name of the opposite sex, and twins need to have different given names. However, despite all the naming rules, resident foreigners may be exempted from following the Swiss-approved name list if they obtain an official statement from their embassy stating that the name is conventionally appropriate in their native country (3).
2. What are some Swiss baby girl names with religious or spiritual meanings?
Agnes is a Latinized form of the Greek name Hagne, meaning 'chaste.' Saint Agnes was the name of a virgin martyr, considered a symbol of faith and virtue. Ariel, meaning 'lion of God' in Hebrew, and Elsa, meaning 'oath to God,' are more Swiss names with religious or spiritual connotations.
3. What are some Swiss baby girl names that have become popular internationally?
Emma is a short and sweet Swiss name meaning 'whole' or 'great.' Some prominent bearers of this name include English actress Emma Watson and American actress Emma Thompson. Jennifer is a stylish Swiss name meaning 'white phantom.' Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez are famous Hollywood celebrities bearing this name. Some other Swiss names that have left their mark internationally include Jessica, Lara, Linda, and Tamara.
4. How do Swiss baby girl names vary across different Swiss language regions such as German, French, and Italian?
The diversity inspires the linguistic and regional differences in Swiss girl names in the traditions, customs, and naming conventions. The German naming trends typically use several given, family, occupational, and geographical names. The French traditions, on the other hand, usually follow a similar structure with just two or more first names. The Italian convention often names children after saints and locations, dividing names into categories using suffixes such as ello, illo, etto, and ino. However, it is essential to note that despite differences in the conventions, Swiss names may overlap or follow a popularity trend, thus sounding similar across linguistic regions.
