Pernelle is a feminine name of French origin, historically functioning as a feminine form of Peter (Pierre in French), ultimately derived from the Greek 'petros' meaning 'rock' or 'stone.' This elegant medieval name was notably borne by Pernelle Flamel, wife of the famous 14th-century alchemist Nicolas Flamel. The name carries an air of mystique and historical gravitas while maintaining a delicate, feminine sound. Though uncommon in the modern era, Pernelle retains appeal for those drawn to rare French names with historical significance. Its recognizable structure makes it accessible despite its rarity. The name offers a sophisticated alternative to more common female forms of Peter such as Petra or Petrina, perfect for parents seeking a name that combines historical depth with melodic elegance.

Used predominantly in Ireland, Edel was a popular choice from the 40s through until the 90s, largely in honor of the Irish missionary, Edel Quinn, known for her work with the poor in the slums of Dublin and later, as a Legion of Mary Envoy in Africa. Quinn was named after the edelweiss flower, making this a non-frilly floral choice.
 
Edel is additionally used as a short form of names containing the German element, edel, such as in Edeltraud and Edelmira. In this case, it would would mean "noble".
 
In Ireland, you may hear it said as EE-dehl, while from its German roots, AY-duhl or EH-dehl may be heard.

Gentle and warm, Salme is a multicultural name with several different roots. As a Prussian, Estonian, and Finnish name, it is used as a contracted form of the Biblical Salome, lending it the lovely meaning "peace", however, it also doubles up as an Estonian word name, meaning "poem".
 
In the latter case, it has literary ties too, appearing in the 19th-century Estonian national epic, Kalevipoeg by Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald. Salme (from the Estonian salm) marries the son of the North Star.
 
The name is also used as a spelling variation of the Arabic Salma (or Selma), which ultimately shares a root with Salome. Usually said to mean "safe", it adds to the calm, gentle feel of the name.
