Halloween is one of the most popular holidays in America, with households across the nation decorating for the spooky celebration. This beloved holiday traces its origins back over 2,000 years to the Celtic festival Samhain, when it was custom to light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts.

When it comes to naming babies (or pets, book characters, etc.), Halloween can provide inspiration for dark, mystical and spirited names for boys and girls. While Halloween itself didn't become popular in America until the early 20th century, Halloween-esque names like Raven and Autumn have been a favorite for quite some time. But there are many more otherworldly names to explore for fall newborns — here are 120+ Halloween names.
