Dark folklore, solemn angels and rhythmic mourning rituals inspire many Names That Mean Death. Think Azrael (m./f.), the Hebrew angel who guides departing souls; Enma, Japan’s stern judge of the underworld; and Taziah, evoking Arabic passion plays of grief. Even unexpected picks—Mukund symbolising final liberation, Ernest with its grave resolve, and melodic Javaun echoing “God is gracious” at life’s end—offer parents quietly powerful ways to honour mortality’s mystery.
