Sanne is hugely popular in the Netherlands, but almost unknown here; which makes it an interesting prospect for the parent in search of an unusual name. Pronounced sah-na, Sanne is in keeping with the Dutch taste for nicknames plucked from the middle or end of a name vs. the beginning, such as Bas for Sebastien or Bram for Abram.

Rarely used outside of Wales due to its unfamiliar spelling and pronunciation, Elliw likely comes the Welsh word lliw meaning "color", lending the name a bright and sparkly feel. The Welsh double LL sound doesn't exist in English but sits somewhere between thl- and sh-. As such Elliw is pronounced (very roughly) as ETHL-ih-oo or ESH-ih-oo. In a recent year it was given to just three girls in England and Wales.

Predominantly used in Iran, Sanaz is a name that celebrates individuality, sweetness, and charm. Notably borne by artist and photographer Sanaz Mazinani, content creator Sanaz Syed Sadri, and tennis player Sanaz Marand, there are several ways to interpret the name.
 
On one hand, it could derive from the elements sa and naz, which together could mean "like sweetness", "resembling delicateness" or "full of grace". Alternatively, it could be a blend of the Turkish san and az meaning "likeness" and "few", which might then be interpreted as "unique, rare, individual".
