Names That Mean Prosperous
- Ayşe
Origin:
Turkish variation of Aisha, ArabicMeaning:
"living, prosperous"
- Miriana
Origin:
Italian, Hebrew, "beloved, bitter, drop of the sea"Meaning:
"beloved, bitter, drop of the sea"Description:
Miriana is a lilting girl name, used as a variation of classic Miriam in Italy. Familiar in its native country, it was once a Top 100 choice back in the 90s, though it fell out of the Top 200 in 2010.
An intriguing possibility with sounds that work in multiple languages, Miriana is sometimes seen as a variation of Spanish Mirian (from Miriam), the Slavic Mira or Mirana, and the Latin Miranda too. As such it may additionally mean "admirable" from its Latin roots or "peace, world" from its Slavic ones.
- Kamran
Origin:
Persian or UrduMeaning:
"prosperous, successful"Description:
While Kamran is a common boys' name in Iran and Turkey, among other countries, if used in the US it will more likely be a respelling of Cameron, a unisex name which sounds exactly the same as Kamran. Due to cultural misunderstandings, we'd advise using the Kamran spelling only if you mean to select the Persian or Urdu boys' name, not as a "creative" form of Cameron for either gender.
- Laisha
Origin:
Invented name, combining La prefix with Aisha, Arabic and SwahiliMeaning:
"living, prosperous"Description:
Laisha made the US Top 1000 list for a few years in the early 21st century, thanks to its role on a Spanish soap opera. The name is a variation of the popular Arabic and Muslim name Aisha, which has many spellings and forms.
