Girls Names that Mean Snow, Ice or Winter
One of my newest designs is in beautiful white leather with diamond coloured Swarovski crystals. Very snow inspired! Being a very keen snow skier and a former ski instructor, I had to give this new design a name that somehow relates to snow, ice or winter.
Of course, I went to Google and I found more than 34 girls names that do relate to snow, ice and winter. They are:
- Alba - Of Spanish origin, Alba means bright or white, like newly fallen snow.
- Apricity - Of English origin, Apricity means the warmth of the sun in winter.
- Bianca - This Italian name means white. I’ve done a Bianca before having named my Bianca design after my ‘bestie’ at university in Milan4.
- Blanca - Spanish for white, another way to pay homage to snow and icicles.
- Blanche - French for white, the colour of winter. Like Blanche the second wife of former Prime Minister Bob Hawke.
- Chan - This Chinese name means snow.
- Cherith - A unique Hebrew name that means winter stream.
- Demetria - The Greek goddess of winter.
- Diamond - Referring to the winter birthstone, Diamond would make a pretty name for a sparkly gir

- Haunani - Another Hawaiian name that means beautiful snow.

When I choose a new sandal name, it always has to resonate with me in some way, so most of my designs are named after friends or someone that I admire. The name that has resonated with me in choosing the name for my snowy white design is Elsa. Yes, it’s due to the movie and all the little girls I see walking around in Elsa dresses and having Elsa inspired birthday parties. BUT, more importantly I put it to the vote on Instagram and Elsa came first with Lily a very close second.
So Elsa it is!
Lots of love,
