Here is a list of French names that start with D. The page includes French names for boys and girls from different eras, as well as last names.
The list is divided into several sections. The modern names are baby names and other names popular in the 2000s, while the traditional names are those common among people born in the 1900s.
The names come from data provided by the French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies, with a few additions from Wikipedia, Reddit and other sources. All of the names also appear in my Random French Name Generator.

French Girl Names Starting with D Popular Now
- Diane
D-names for French women, such as Danielle, Denise, and Delphine, are now less popular than they were in the 20th century. Many of these names have endings or sounds (–elle, –ine, etc.) that were fashionable in mid-20th-century French naming styles but are no longer as common today.
Today’s French naming trends also favor softer, lighter sounds, often beginning with vowels or “light” consonants such as L, M, and S. Stronger, less melodic initial consonants like B, G, or P are less common at the moment — a pattern seen across many European languages.
