Our Favorite Coffee-Inspired Baby Names (Yes, Really!)
For the Mom Who Loves a Good Brew (and a Great Baby Name)
Naming a baby is one of the most exciting (and pressure-filled) parts of pregnancy.
You want something sweet but strong.
Unique but not too out-there.
And maybe—just maybe—you want to honor the thing that’s gotten you through 3 a.m. feedings, hormonal roller coasters, and the weirdly emotional act of folding onesies.
Coffee.
Yes, coffee-inspired baby names are a thing—and they’re so much cuter than you might think. Here are some of our favorites, from the subtle to the straight-up bold.
☕ Coffee-Inspired Names We Love
1. Arabica (ah-RAH-bih-ka)
Elegant, rare, and undeniably classy. Arabica is the queen of coffee beans, and she just might be the queen of your nursery, too.
2. Java
Cool, modern, and effortlessly gender-neutral. Java says, “I’m here, I’m strong, and I smell faintly of espresso.”
3. Mocha
Warm, cozy, and sweet with a little edge. Perfect for a snuggly baby with big personality potential.
4. Kona
This Hawaiian-grown bean makes for a beautifully earthy baby name. It’s short, unique, and full of laid-back vibes.
5. Breve (BRAY-vay)
Italian, sophisticated, and smooth—just like the espresso drink. Bonus: it also means “brief” in Italian, which is hilariously accurate for how long naps last.
🍼 Names with Subtle Coffee Vibes
6. Bean
Yes, Bean. It's adorable as a nickname and has that cheeky, cozy feel—like your favorite sweater or your kid’s third snack before noon.
7. Caffrey
A twist on caffeine and Irish-inspired names like Rafferty or Callahan. Sounds strong, cool, and unique.
8. Cora (short for “Cortado”)
Cortado is a delicious little espresso drink—strong but softened with milk. Cora is a beautiful, classic take on it, with hidden coffee flair.
9. Macchi (MAH-kee)
Inspired by the macchiato, this name is short, playful, and has just enough attitude.
10. Siena
Named for the warm, rich hue of coffee grounds (and the Italian city, of course). A romantic, timeless choice.
🫖 Tea-Lovers, We See You Too
Not a coffee drinker but still here for a warm sip and cute names? Don’t worry—we’ve got you:
Chai
Earl
Camille (like chamomile)
Jasmine
Tessa (from “Tisane,” a fancy word for herbal tea)
☀️ Final Sip
Whether you’re naming a new baby, a beloved pet, or just daydreaming while sipping your morning brew, we say lean into what you love.
Coffee-inspired names are fun, flavorful, and full of personality—just like the moms who drink it.
And hey, if you don’t go with one of these for the birth certificate, they still make excellent nicknames.
(We see you, Baby Bean.)
