I’ve always believed that names carry a frequency. A vibration. Like a song that plays gently behind someone’s presence. Some names feel like silk, some like fire, some like wildflowers after rain.
Over the years, I’ve noticed that certain names hold the energy of specific tarot cards. It’s not scientific — it’s a feeling. A spark. A mirror between identity and archetype.
Here are ten names I love, and the tarot card each one brings to mind for me.
1. Luna – The Moon
Soft, intuitive, and full of mystery. Luna reminds me of dreams, of inner tides, of things not said but deeply felt. She walks between worlds, trusting what others don’t always see.
The Moon card is about intuition, shadow work, and the magic of the unknown. Luna is the name of someone who listens with her whole being.
2. Leo – Strength
Warm-hearted, loyal, and full of inner power. Leo doesn’t need to roar to be brave. His courage is quiet and steady, like the Strength card itself.
I think of Leo as someone who protects what he loves fiercely, but with grace. Someone who leads with the heart, not the ego.
3. Sage – The Hermit
There’s something timeless about the name Sage. It holds wisdom, stillness, and solitude in equal parts. Sage is the one who takes the lantern and walks into the quiet, not out of loneliness, but devotion.
Like the Hermit, Sage trusts the inward journey, and finds the answers not in noise but in silence.
4. Isla – The High Priestess
Delicate and deep. Isla feels like ocean mist, intuition, and ancient knowing. She may not speak often, but when she does, it lands like a truth you’ve always known.
She reminds me of the High Priestess — still, sacred, secretive, and profoundly connected to the inner world.
5. Phoenix – Death
Rebirth lives inside this name. Phoenix carries the energy of endings that lead to new beginnings. They are not afraid to let go, burn down, and rise from the ashes.
Like the Death card, Phoenix teaches us that transformation is not a loss — it’s a liberation.
6. Aria – The Star
Hope, healing, lightness. Aria is the name of someone who brings peace simply by being. She carries soft strength and glows even in darkness.
The Star is about trust, restoration, and divine timing. Aria reminds me that no matter what has happened, we are never too far from light.
7. Rowan – The Empress
Rooted, earthy, and nurturing. Rowan makes me think of someone who creates beauty with their hands and loves deeply with their whole self.
The Empress is the mother, the artist, the sensual being who gives life to everything she touches. Rowan feels like abundance in human form.
8. Cassius – The Magician
Focused, charismatic, and full of intention. Cassius has the energy of someone who knows how to channel thought into form. Someone who believes in their power to shape reality.
The Magician is about mastery and manifestation. Cassius reminds me of someone who turns ideas into gold.
9. Freya – The Queen of Wands
Bold, radiant, and wild. Freya doesn’t wait for permission. She walks into a room and everything shifts. She’s fire and intuition and unapologetic magic.
The Queen of Wands is a force of nature, and Freya carries that same flame — fierce, magnetic, and always true to herself.
10. Jasper – The Fool
Playful, open-hearted, and ready to leap. Jasper feels like adventure, like a fresh journal page, like saying yes without knowing the whole plan.
The Fool is the beginning of the journey. Jasper reminds me that life is meant to be lived with wonder, trust, and just a little bit of chaos.
Final Thoughts from the Naming Heart
Whether you’re choosing a name for a child, a character, a pet, or a new version of yourself, let it resonate with your spirit. Let it feel like a tarot card you’d happily carry in your pocket.
Names are spells. Tiny pieces of poetry. And when we connect them with archetypes, they become even more alive.
