To save you time having to search out eye-themed names, I spent hours researching and curating this list of eye names. And unlike AI-generated lists you may have seen, I handpicked each of these names and only included names that are truly wearable.

I am a Ph.D. researcher who uses my analytic skills on baby name data and trends. In addition, I have unique eye experience too.

I worked as research assistant in an eye-focused neuroscience lab for many years (our lab restored vision in chickens by injecting DNA into their eggs!). I wrote one of my theses on my retina research from the lab.

It was fun revisiting my vision science roots writing about these eye related names. In addition to names that mean eye, you’ll also find names inspired by the anatomy of the eye and names related to vision.
