Ultimately derived from the Sanskrit yama meaning "twin", Yamuna is the name of both an Indian river and of a Hindu goddess. As such, this name is significant in Hindu tradition, in which Yamuna (also known as Yami), is the sister of Yama, the god of death, a a personification of the river. 
 
Melodic and intriguing, Yamuna is associated with a purification of the mind. The river itself is considered a river of heaven, brought to earth by the Seven Sages, and legend suggests that bathing in its sacred waters can free someone from the torments of death. 
 
It is therefore a site of pilgrimage, though recent years have seen it labelled one of the most polluted rivers in the world. Largescale clean-up efforts have since been underway.
 
A popular choice in India, it is rarely heard elsewhere.

Greek names like Penelope, Calliope, and Xanthe are in vogue, as are spiritual names like Heaven and Halo. Agape combines both elements, and offers an unusual route to clunky-cute nickname Aggie. Given to a handful of babies each year in the US, it is very quietly on parent's radar.
 
From its Greek origins, this distinctive word name is associated with a form of love, involving selflessness, charity, and deep affection. In its Christian context, its definition was expanded to include the unconditional love between God and humans and the love and goodwill humans should have for each other, beyond self, romantic, and erotic love. 
 
The drawback of Agape, of course, is that it coincides with the English word agape (uh-gayp), associated with being open-mouthed, bewildered, and confounded, and with gaping, as in, gaping holes and gaping wounds.

A floral name, Antaram is an Armenian choice, used to describe the flowers from the genus Helichrysum ("gold sun"), more commonly known as immortelle, strawflower, or everlasting. As such, this name may appeal to those who enjoy names with expansive meanings, like  Ambrosia,  Evren, and Emrys. Used as a feminine name in Armenia, it is used as a masculine choice in India, possibly as a variation of the Arabic Antar ("champion, brave"),  the Sanskrit Antara ("in between") and Ram ("pleasing, beautiful".)
