A lively name often used to honor a deceased grandmother in Yoruba culture.

Iyabo

West African name best known as that of Yetunde Price, half-sister of Venus and Serena Williams who was tragically murdered in 2003.

Yetunde

Not to be confused with Angela, this name sails from Greenland, where it is originally a short form of names like Angerlatoq and Angerlanguaq. All these names share one quality: their sweet meaning. Angerla means <em>the one who has returned home</em> and it's traditionally used as an honour name for a relative who has passed away.

Angerla

Angerla may seem more feminine at first glance, but in its native Greenland this name can be used for girls <em>and</em> boys. Its meaningful origin makes it an especially lovely choice: in Greenlandic culture, Angerla is an indirect way to honour a family member who has passed away, by carrying their memory on with a new addition to the family.
