  1. Amery

    • Description:

      Amery is a masculine name with Germanic roots, derived from ancient elements meaning "work ruler" or "industrious leader." It shares origins with the more common Emery and Emory, all evolving from the Germanic name Emmerich. Historically, the name traveled to England with the Norman conquest and has maintained a quiet presence in English-speaking countries ever since. Amery has an aristocratic quality, possibly due to its association with medieval nobility and the English placename Amery, which itself derives from personal names. While never extremely popular, Amery sees occasional use as a distinctive alternative to more common names. Its soft beginning and two-syllable rhythm give it a gentle yet masculine quality that balances tradition with accessibility. The name carries connotations of diligence and leadership through its etymological roots.

  2. Agnesa

    • Description:

      Agnesa is a feminine name of Greek origin, serving as a variation of Agnes. It derives from the Greek word 'hagnos,' meaning 'pure' or 'holy.' While Agnes has ancient roots dating back to early Christianity, the Agnesa variant adds a softer, more melodic quality with its ending vowel. This form has been particularly popular in Eastern European countries, including Slovakia, Czech Republic, and parts of the Balkans. The name carries associations with innocence, virtue, and moral purity from its etymological roots. Though less common in English-speaking countries, Agnesa offers a fresh alternative to the more traditional Agnes while maintaining its classic heritage and dignified meaning.
  3. Gauguin

    • Origin:

      French surname

    • Description:

      We've heard artists' surnames MONET and MANET used as first names, and so, even though it's a bit of a stretch, the family name of the great post-Impressionist painter Paul Gauguin (go-GAN) could be a possibility.
  4. Jacopo

    • Origin:

      Italian variation of Jacob, Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "supplanter"

    • Description:

      One of Jacob’s perkier variations.
