From Saba to Syshe and everything in between, we have hundreds of baby girl names starting with the letter S along with the meanings and origin of each name.

And if you don’t know the gender of your baby yet, but love S-names like I do, be sure to check out our baby boy names that start with S page as well.

Baby Naming Tip – Ancestry based baby girl names are a way to honor your family’s culture through your child’s name. If a cultural first name is too far off from your current way of life, you may want to consider selecting a middle name as a way to honor your heritage.

Most Popular Baby Girl Names Starting with S

First we’ll start with the most popular baby girl names from 2018. They were:

Sophia

Sofia

Scarlett

Stella

Savannah

Skylar

Samantha

Sarah

Serenity

Sadie

Sophie

Sydney

Sara

Sloane

Sienna

Summer

Sawyer

Selena

Samara

Sage

Sophia was the most popular baby girl name starting with S in 2018. This should come as no surprise as Sophia has been the most common baby girl name starting with S as far back as 2009. What a run!

Here’s how the top three names have looked over the past decade:

Sophia wasn’t just popular for S girl names in 2018. Overall it was the number 5 most popular name among all baby girl names in 2018. Here’s how it looked when compared to all baby girls born in 2018.

This is particularly remarkable to me. While Sophia has been an overall top 10 baby girl name since 2006, it was #42 overall (and #6 of girl names starting with S) in the year 2000. Just an incredible climb in popularity that I haven’t seen very often.

While Sophia was a popular choice in 2018, you can see it was only about 78% as popular a baby girl name as Olivia. Just for fun, let’s take a look at the most popular baby girl names beginning with S throughout history.

Now let’s look into what girl’s names lost and gained popularity in 2018, again only for names starting with S.

While I often observe names coming back into favor, it doesn’t look likely for Sarah, Susan or Sandra anytime soon. For all letters (not just S,) Sandra is almost out of the top 1000 most popular girls names, while Susan already is, and Sarah hasn’t been a top 10 girl name since 2002.

As you can see, Shania jumped by 28 slots while Sally lost some ranking in 2018 by 8 spots.

Unique Baby Girl Names Starting With S

While it’s fun to see what lots of other people are naming their babies, many people prefer to find baby names that are more uncommon. To that end, below is the some of the more unique baby girl names starting with S.

Salem

Sarahi

Spencer

Sonia

Saanvi

Susan

Selina

Sevyn

Seraphina

Shayla

Sharon

Sidney

Sapphire

Shea

Sally

Samiyah

Skylynn

Soraya

Shanaya

Siya

Overall, Salem was the 1016th most popular girl name in 2018 with 254 babies. That means there were 55x more Sophias than Salems last year. That makes it a very unique name!

If you don’t have your name in mind yet, don’t worry! Below we present a list of literally every baby girl name — including middle names — starting with S, the name’s meaning and origin. Good luck and have a wonderful day.
