      English from French
    • Meaning:

      "desired; or water, island"

      Greek mythology name
    • Meaning:

      "cassia juice"

  14. Geneviève
    • Description:

      Geneviève is a feminine name of French origin with deep historical roots. Derived from the Germanic name Genovefa, it combines elements meaning 'tribe' or 'race' and 'woman.' The name is most famously associated with Saint Geneviève, the patron saint of Paris, who lived in the 5th century and is credited with saving the city through prayer during Attila the Hun's invasion. The name carries an air of elegance and sophistication, particularly with the French spelling featuring the accent mark. Geneviève has remained consistently present in French-speaking regions and has gained international recognition for its melodic quality and historical significance. The name exudes classical femininity with a touch of strength, making it appealing to parents drawn to names with both cultural depth and graceful sounds.
  15. Magdalena

      Greek
    • Meaning:

      "from Magdala"
    • Description:

      Magdalena is a pretty name forever associated with the fallen-yet-redeemed Mary Magdalen; often heard in the Hispanic community. But forward thinking parents are reviving Magdalena along with Magdalene and the unrelated but similar-sounding Marguerite.
  16. Caldonia
    • Description:

      Caldonia is a feminine name with Southern American roots, popularized by Louis Jordan's 1945 jump blues hit song 'Caldonia.' The name may be a variation of Caledonia, the ancient Roman name for Scotland, derived from the tribal name 'Caledonii.' Caldonia carries a vintage, soulful quality with its melodic sound and rhythmic cadence. Though never widely common, the name experienced brief recognition during the mid-20th century due to the song's popularity. Caldonia projects warmth, strength, and musical associations, with its flowing syllables and distinctive ending. For modern parents, it offers a unique alternative to more common vintage revivals, bringing to mind the rich cultural heritage of American blues and jazz. The name retains an air of Southern charm and musical nostalgia.
  17. Elisabeth
    • Origin:

      German, Dutch, Danish, English, variation of Elizabeth, Hebrew
    • Meaning:

      "pledged to God"
    • Description:

      This spelling of the classic name is found in France, Germany, Greece, and other cultures, and is worn by such notables as Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Elisabeth Shue, Elisabeth Moss, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The name's pronunciation is usually just like the Z version, but some parents choose this because they want to discourage the Liz or Lizzie short forms and so pronounce it as if it has Lisa in the middle.
  18. Astoria
    • Origin:

      Place name
    • Description:

      Long more associated with the New York Waldorf- hotel and the neighborhood in Queens than as a baby name, Astoria is finally beginning to emerge from their shadow and find favor with parents looking to move beyond Brooklyn. The name Astoria is drawn from the surname of titan of industry John Jacob Astor, theorized to mean "hawk."
  19. Desdemona
    • Origin:

      Greek
    • Meaning:

      "ill-starred"
    • Description:

      Desdemona is as Shakespearean as a name can be, but because the beautiful and innocent wife of Othello came to such a tragic end, her name has been avoided for centuries. But at this point in time, there might be some adventurous parents willing to overlook that.
  20. Antonella
    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Antonia, Spanish, Italian, Latin
    • Meaning:

      "from Antium"
    • Description:

      Antonella is an elaborate feminine form of Anthony growing in popularity throughout Latin America as well as in the US. It first entered the US charts back in 2017 and has since shot into the Top 300, given to around 1330 girls in a recent year.
