Origin: Pacific Islander
Meaning: Love; Affection; Sympathy
As The Beatles' song goes, "All You Need Is Love." When it comes to babies and baby names, love is certainly all around. Especially when you consider the girl's name Aroha, a Pacific Islanders name meaning, simply, "love." There is indeed much to love about this heart-warming name, not least its romantic and musical essence. It originates from Maori, the language of New Zealand's indigenous people. Aroha also points to someone affectionate and sympathetic, undoubtedly qualities any parent would wish their baby girl to embody.
