Names That Mean Alone

  1. Enola
    • Origin:

      English literary name and place name, Cherokee
    • Meaning:

      "alone; black fox"
    • Description:

      Enola has a lot of potential as a name: it includes the stylish 'nola' sound; it follows a similar letter pattern to the likes of Elora, Elara, and Elodie; it has a hint of Nevaeh about it, given that it is "alone" spelled backwards; it's familiar but not popular. For many decades, however, it was known only in relation to the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, the Enola Gay, and has been understandably avoided.
  2. Bakar
    • Origin:

      Basque
    • Meaning:

      "alone"
    • Description:

      A somewhat solemn name for a child. The feminine version is Bakarne.
  3. Sambor
    • Origin:

      Slavic
    • Meaning:

      "fighting alone"
    • Description:

      Sambor is the name of several ancient royals in Pomerania — a region split between current day Germany and Poland.
  4. Bakarne
    • Origin:

      Basque
    • Meaning:

      "alone"
    • Description:

      Like the masculine version, Bakar, the meaning makes this a depressing choice for a child.
