Khalessi
Meaning of Khalessi
The name Khalessi, pronounced kuh-LESS-ee (/kəˈlɛsi/), is a relatively modern and unique choice for baby girls. Originating from the fictional Dothraki language in the popular television series "Game of Thrones," Khalessi means "queen" or "ruler" and is a title rather than a traditional name. This association with a powerful and influential character has made it an appealing option for parents seeking a strong, distinctive name for their daughters. Despite its recent emergence, Khalessi has steadily grown in popularity in the United States, making notable appearances on baby name charts since 2012. Its alternative spelling, Khaleesi, is also widely recognized and used. The name's exotic flair and connection to a beloved cultural phenomenon contribute to its enduring appeal among modern parents.
