Cancer Zodiac Names
Calling all moon lovers, it’s Cancer season.
The Cancer zodiac runs from June 21st to July 22nd.
Cancers are ruled by the moon and shine just as bright. These crabs are intuitive, empathetic and sensitive souls. They are also protective, loyal and family oriented.
If your zodiac sign is a Cancer or you’re expecting a water baby this season, this list is for you.
Moon Goddess
Altalune - We are over the moon by the name Altalune. As was actress Uma Thurman when she coined it for her daughters middle name in 2012. An amazing way to get the nickname Luna.
Cia - We’ve all heard of Cindy being short for Greek goddess Cynthia, but what about Cia? Cia has that modern minimalist feel similar to Mia but is definitely under the radar in comparison.
Diana - While we recognize the Greek moon goddess we also have to acknowledge the Roman moon goddess Diana. Diana was also the divine goddess of hunting, forests and fertility. A multitalented woman. The name Diana is related to the Latin words for daylight sky.
Eirian - A modern day Welsh name meaning silver is originally derived from the word Arian. A cancer’s color palette consists of shiny silvers and greys that are inspired by the moon itself.
Esmeray - A fun twist on Esme, Esmeray is a Turkish name meaning Dark Moon. Esmeray provokes a sense of elegance and mystery.
Getting Crabby
Jari - This name is short for Jalmari and the Finnish variant of the name Jeremy. The name Jari means helmeted protector, representing the crabs outer shell.
Seb - Short for Sebastian this little crab may be under the sea but it’s not underrated at all. In fact, Sebastian comes in at #19 with 8,927 boys born in 2020. The name Seb means revered and vulnerable. This name strongly ties in to a Cancer’s admirable and pure emotional side.
Personality
Ethan - A Cancer’s strong spirits give you this sense of safety and security wrapped in their arms. They have an unwavering, unconditional loyalty and faithfulness you can’t help but fall in love with.
Josiah - This biblical name means God supports and heals. An enduring choice for your empathetic crab.
Meryl - Cancer’s are water signs. Drawn to the water just like the crab, they shine as clear as the sea. Actress Meryl Streep has her sun sign in Cancer as her birthday lands on June 22nd.
