Christian Names That Mean Peace (Boys & Girls)

If you’re looking for a Christian baby name that reflects peace—peace with God, calmness, harmony, wholeness, or a gentle spirit—this guide is built for you. Many families love “peace” names because they feel timeless, comforting, and easy to connect with Christian values like trust, patience, and reassurance.

One helpful detail: some names translate directly to peace (or closely related words like calm/harmony), while others are “peace-adjacent” in meaning—such as rest, quiet, comfort, or wholeness. Use this list to shortlist your favorites, then verify meanings in a reputable source before you finalize.
