Jupiter

What does the name Jupiter mean?

Jupiter is the name of the king of the Roman gods and of the largest planet in the solar system; it comes from the Latin Iuppiter, which means "sky father" or "father of the heavens". Though the god is male, the name's rich sound and celestial theme have made it a bold choice for girls alongside Luna and Nova. Jupiter rose from number 3630 in 2015 to a peak of 1562 in 2022 and ranks 2205 in 2025 with 84 births.
