Aquarius

Meaning of Aquarius

Aquarius sparkles with ancient Latin flair, rising from the phrase “water-bearer” to dance across the zodiac as the eleventh sign. Imagine a playful monsoon swirl on the Ganges—refreshing, unpredictable and utterly alive—that’s the spirit this unisex name brings. Its syllables flow gently yet confidently—English: uh-KWAIR-ee-uhs—rolling off the tongue like a cool river current under a summer sun. Steeped in myth, it evokes Ganymede pouring ambrosia for the gods, and for Indian hearts, it channels rivers that cradle life itself. Though it glides through US baby charts in the 700s–900s range, Aquarius’s true magic isn’t measured by numbers but by dreams of boundless curiosity and a heart ready to pour hope wherever it wanders—and after all, with a name that literally means “water-bearer,” who needs a tea kettle?
