Names That Mean Ones

  1. Seraphine
    • Origin:

      French from Hebrew
    • Meaning:

      "burning ones"
    • Description:

      Seraphine is the Gallic version of the angelic name Seraphina. But while Seraphina has been rising rapidly since Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck chose it for their second daughter, Seraphine has been largely ignored, though we believe the French vowel-sound ending will soon be more stylish than the a-endings that have predominated in girls' names for years.
  2. Iowa
    • Origin:

      Dakota
    • Meaning:

      "sleepy ones"
    • Description:

      American place and tribe name, derived via French from the Dakota word ayúxba "sleepy ones". It does have a cool sound, reminiscent of Ira or Owain, but has only ever made the US charts for girls, and not since the early 20th century.
