Names meaning Water

Oceans, rivers, rain — names with a current running through them. The water tradition is older than most parents realize: Marina and Marin from the Latin for the sea; Dylan from the Welsh for born of the wave; Jordan from the river; Kai from the Hawaiian for sea (and from Japanese, Maori, and several other languages, with different meanings); Cordelia, possibly from the Welsh for jewel of the sea. Water-meaning names tend to be soft, fluid, and a little restless, which suits the meaning. The full collection is below.
