Names That Mean Fortunate

Faustine has a positive meaning, although the association with the character who sold his soul to the devil may be off-putting. This name is among the Top 100 girls' names in France, but was given to fewer than five baby girls in the US last year.

Faustine

A variant of Øyvind with a slightly different pronunciation — eye-vin instead of ay-vin. Both names originate from the Old Norse Eyvindr, but Eivind is the fresher choice within Norway, having last made the Top 100 in 2011. For parents looking to honour their heritage, Eivind would be a handsome possibility. Just mind the pronunciation difficulties, like the silent D at the end.

Eivind

A medieval name with a light, friendly feel, Amphelise emerged in the 11th or 12th century from the Latin Amphelisia. While the exact meaning is unknown, theories include that it is a blend of amicus or amo, Latin elements meaning "friendship" and "love", with felix, meaning "lucky" and fortunate". As such, it could be interpreted more figuratively as meaning "lucky friend" or "lucky in love". 
 
Other forms of the name include Anflis, Amphelisia and Aunfelisa, and it might make an appealing alternative to Amelia, Ophelia, or Elise, particularly for a fictional character, perhaps.
