Madera

Madera is a feminine name that could represent the strength, resilience, and confidence you hope to instill in your little love. You might be familiar with this moniker’s closest variant, Madeira, and the Portuguese island it describes! Madera’s roots are Spanish, however, arising from the word madera, meaning “wood” or “timber.” Often used to construct homes, start fires, and protect property, wood is a material associated with security, comfort, and safety. While you’ll strive to provide all these things for baby Madera, their name could also encourage them to channel their own inner power. They, too, can stand tall, be adaptable, and be persistent, just like the bark of the highest trees.
