Popular Country Girl Names

What are country girl names? Not everyone categorizes these names in the same way, so you’ll have to consider all the identifiers when it comes to popular ones. We searched through the most popular girl names in recent years and found several country-inspired options that might take you right down memory lane!

1. Abigail. The most popular country girl name, Abigail means “my father is joy” in Hebrew. For a little country inspiration, Abigail Washburn is a renowned folk singer and clawhammer banjo player. In 2016, she won a Grammy for Best Folk Album.

2. Avery. Although historically a boy’s moniker (and a good option among country boy names), Avery became more popular with girls after the 1990s. It comes from the Germanic elements that mean “elf” and “ruler” or “mighty.”

3. Charlotte. Charlotte is the feminine diminutive of Charles, which simply means “man.” One of the most popular children’s books is Charlotte’s Web, which definitely offers those country vibes!

4. Ella. If jazz music or the swing era brings you right back to a simpler time, you might be a fan of Ella Fitzgerald, the “Queen of Jazz.” Ella was born in Virginia but made it big in New York City. The name Ella comes from the German moniker Alia, which means “other.” 

5. Ellie. Like Ella, Ellie can be traced to the German moniker Alia, but it might also link to the name Ellen, the English form of the Greek moniker Helen, meaning “moon.” If you’ve seen the Andy Griffith Show, a comedy series about a sheriff from fictional Mayberry, North Carolina, you might remember that Ellie Walker was one of Andy’s girlfriends.

6. Grace. A popular girl name in general, and not just among country names, Grace simply means “grace.” If you’re a fan of Grace Kelly, you might remember her roles in the drama film The Country Girl and the Western film High Noon.

7. Harper. Like Grace above, Harper also has quite a literal meaning: “one who plays the harp.” What makes Harper an endearing country baby girl name is the author Harper Lee, known for her novel To Kill a Mockingbird, which takes place in rural Alabama.

8. Olivia. The feminine form of Oliver, Olivia means “olive,” a cute option for a country girls’ name! If you pick this name, your daughter will share a name with singer and actress Olivia Newton-John, who won a country music Grammy.

9. Scarlett. The main character in the novel Gone With the Wind, Scarlett O’Hara has a prominent place among pretty country girl names. The name means “someone who makes or sells clothes made of scarlet,” a type of cloth.

10. Willow. Another adorable country girl name is Willow, which is simply the name of the willow tree. If anything paints the picture of a perfect country day, it’s weeping willow branches swaying in the breeze. 

11. Annie. A diminutive of Anne, the French girls’ name for Anna, Annie originates from the Hebrew name Hannah, which means “favor” or “grace.” It doesn’t get much more country than Annie Oakley, a sharpshooter in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show and the subject of the musical Annie Get Your Gun.

12. Arna. A classic old country girl name, Arna comes from German and Old Norse elements that mean “eagle.” It’s a gender-neutral name, and a famous bearer is Arna Bontemps, a poet and author from a Louisiana Creole family.

13. Betsy. Betsy is one of the many diminutives of Elizabeth, a Hebrew name meaning “my God is an oath.” There are many Betsys out there, but a favorite one that connects to nostalgic country girls is Betsy Bobbin, the name of Dorothy’s companion in the Oz books by L. Frank Baum. 

14. Cassidy. If Butch Cassidy, the American train and bank robber from the Old West, comes to mind when thinking about the country, then Cassidy is a good option for a girls’ name. The name itself comes from an Irish moniker meaning “curly haired.”

15. Elma. Originally, Elma was the short form of Wilhelmine or Wilhelmina, the feminine German form of William, which means “will,” “desire,” and “protection.” Wilhelmina “Willie” Franklin Pruitt was a famous bearer of the name and a Southern-born American author and activist.

16. Imogene. What is the most Southern girls’ name? We might argue that this variant of Imogen is it! This cute and classic country girl name comes from Gaelic and means “maiden.” Imogene (nicknamed Idgie) is the main character in the acclaimed novel Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café, which takes place in the Southern United States and explores the struggles of the South in the 1920s and 1930s.

17. June. It doesn’t get much more country than June, a name that simply means the month of June. It’s a common name, but perhaps one of the most famous bearers is June Carter Cash, a Grammy-winning country-folk singer and the second wife of Johnny Cash.

18. Mabel. Mabel definitely has a Southern and country connotation, but it’s actually the medieval feminine form of Amabilis, which means “lovable.” So not only is it a cute country girl name, but it also has a sweet meaning, perfect for your lovable little Western gal!

19. Prudence. The feminine form of the Latin name Prudentius, Prudence means “prudent, wise.” Pru is a cute nickname for this country girl moniker, plus it makes an adorable middle name for girls. 

20. Shelby. This classic girl name has an idyllic country meaning (“willow farm”). It  also connects to the film Steel Magnolias, which takes place in northwestern Louisiana and stars Julia Roberts as Shelby Eatenton-Latcherie. In 2012, the Lifetime TV Network remade the movie with an all-Black cast, including Queen Latifah.

21. Adabelle. Maybe you’ve heard of Annabelle, but what about the unique girls’ name Adabelle? Combining Ada and Belle, the name means “noble” and “beautiful.”

22. Bithy. If you like the name Tabitha but want to put a unique spin on this cute country girls’ name, try the diminutive Bithy. Tabitha means “gazelle,” and you might remember the name from history class, as Tabitha Brown was a well-known pioneer-colonist who traveled the Oregon Trail in the mid-nineteenth century.

23. Cady. For a country girls’ name with a unique meaning, consider Cady, which means “talkative.” Your little one might be a chatty Cady!

24. Chantilly. Give your sweet country girl this name, another word for whipped cream, though mostly used in France. 

25. Gertie. If Gertrude is too old-fashioned for you, try the diminutive Gertie, a unique and cute country girls’ name. From Germanic elements, the name means “spear of strength.” Perhaps you associate the name with the novelist Gertrude Stein, known for many works, including Four in America, which creates alternative lives for Ulysses S. Grant, Wilbur Wright, George Washington, and Henry James.

26. Henley. Consider Henley if you like the idea of last names as first names. In England and Ireland, Henley is a common surname, meaning either “hen” or “wild bird” and “wood clearing,” so it’s also a perfect country girl moniker.

27. Kinsey. Unique in both spelling and sound, the name Kinsey comes from Old English words meaning “royal” and “victory.” Kinsey is also a small town in Alabama.

28. Minnie. Though you might think of Minnie Mouse, this unique baby name is another diminutive of Wilhelmina, so it also means “will,” “desire,” and “protection.” Memphis Minnie, born in Mississippi, was a famous blues guitarist and singer.

29. Oakley. For a unique twist on the name Annie, go with Oakley, in honor of sharpshooter and Wild West icon Annie Oakley! It means “oak clearing” and certainly gives off those countryside vibes.

30. Tabitha. Although the diminutive Bithy from above is adorable, Tabitha is also a nice choice for a unique country girl name. Again, Tabitha means “gazelle.”

31. Amaryllis. The beautiful amaryllis flower comes from the Greek word amarysso, meaning “to sparkle.” Amaryllis is a character in the award-winning musical The Music Man, which takes place in a small town in the Midwest, offering those country vibes.

32. Autumn. The sweet name Autumn connects with the season and comes from the Latin word autumnus. Nothing beats the beautiful and colorful autumn countryside.

33. Blossom. A cute country girls’ name, Blossom offers a sense of nostalgia. Plus, it’s a great option for 1990s TV show names, as Blossom was a popular sitcom from 1990 to 1995.

34. Daisy. Daisy is the name of a pretty flower and means “day eye.” You’ll find no shortage of celebrities, historical figures, and fictional characters named Daisy, as it’s such a versatile country baby girls’ name. 

35. Ember. The English word ember might be the perfect nature-inspired country girl name, or you could make it a little longer with the name Emberly.

36. Poppy. Poppies are wildflowers, so they certainly come with a sense of countryside nostalgia. So, why not consider naming your little Western girl Poppy?

37. Josie. As a diminutive of Josephine, Josie comes from a Hebrew name meaning “he will add.” Josie is the perfect country-girl nickname for Josephine, but it might give you a sense nostalgia if you were a fan of the comic Josie and the Pussycats.

38. Kaylee. Kaylee is a modern name with several variants, but we like this spelling for a country-girl name. You can also opt for Kayleigh, Kayley, Kailee, or Kaelee. The name was particularly popular in the 1980s. 

39. Laney. The pretty girls’ name Laney is the perfect country diminutive of Elaine, which comes from Helen and means “moon.”

40. Mae. This cute country girls’ name is a nickname of Mary, Margaret, or Mabel. Mae is also quite a classic name; you’ll find several actresses from the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century with this moniker, possibly the most famous being Mae West. 

41. Priscilla. Another long name, Priscilla comes from a Roman moniker meaning “ancient.” You might think of the renowned folk singer Priscilla Ahn, who toured with legends like Willie Nelson, Amos Lee, Ray LaMontagne, and Joshua Radin.

42. Blake. As an Old English name, Blake comes from words meaning either “black” or “pale.” It’s hard to think about this country name without envisioning singer Blake Shelton, but as a girls’ name, it rose in popularity thanks to the actress Blake Lively.

43. Camryn. For a unique spelling of a country girls’ name, Camryn does the job. Of course, it comes from Cameron, which is more popular as a boys’ name. Camryn could be a good middle name option for a country girl with its different spelling.

44. Dottie. For a cool twist on a classic, consider Dottie, a diminutive of Dorothy, which means “gift of God.” Perhaps you remember this name from the character Dottie Hinson from the film A League of Their Own.

45. Emmy. Use this cool country girls’ name as a nickname for Emma or Emily, meaning “whole” or “rival,” respectively. You’ll find many Emmys, Emmas, and Emilys throughout history, so you can take your pick as to whom your little gal is channeling. 

46. Hattie. Choose cool Hattie as a diminutive of the more classic moniker Harriet. Harriet eventually connects to the name Henry, which means “home-ruler.” Harriet Tubman is probably the most famous bearer of this name. She was an abolitionist and political activist born into slavery and helped other enslaved people escape via a string of safe houses known as the Underground Railway.

47. Jewel. As a country girls’ name, Jewel definitely has a cool ring to it. Of course, the name refers to any precious stone, but you might recognize it from the famous folk-pop singer Jewel.

48. Maisie. The cool country girls’ name Maisie is the Scottish version of the Irish name Mairead, the Gaelic form of Margaret, which means “pearl.” If these country names bring you back to your childhood, you might remember Maisie MacKenzie, the kitten from the children’s book series by Aileen Paterson.

49. Tamaya. Though the name is similar to Maya or Maia, Tamaya is a choice that's a bit cooler. In the Quechua language (from the indigenous people in Peru), the name means “in the center.”

50. Teah. Rare and cool, this country girls’ name is mostly used in the Southern United States. You could also spell the name Tea to pay homage to the actress Téa Leoni. Teah is also an excellent middle name for country girls.
