Are you looking for a cool name for your new pet, new car, or new sailboat, but you're all out of ideas? If so, you might consider a Grateful Dead-inspired moniker that reflects your personal music tastes. Here are just a few names featured in popular Grateful Dead songs, along with their common meanings:

Althea: This name of Greek origin means “healer.”

Cassidy: This name of Irish, Welsh, and Gaelic origin means “clever,” or “intelligent.”

Jack: The Hebrew “Jack” means “supplanter.”

Corrina: Originating in Greece, this name means “maiden.”

Stella: A Latin word meaning “star,” “Stella” has roots in France, Greece, and Italy.

Samson: This name of Hebrew origin means “bright as the sun.”

Delilah: This Hebrew name means “night.”

Gives a bit of insight into song meanings, hmm?

Consider also names inspired by the band members:

Jerry: This Greek name means “holy.” (Figures!)

Bob: A name of English origins meaning “bright fame.”

Phil: This Greek name means “lover of horses.”

Mickey: Americanized version of the name “Michael,” meaning “who is like god.” (Well, his drumming certainly is!)

Bill: Shortened form of the English name “William,” this name means “protector.”

Vince: This name of Latin origin means “victorious.”

Ron (a.ka. Pigpen): This English name means “adviser to the king.”

Keith: This Celtic name means “warrior descending.”
