    • Origin:

      Spanish

    • Meaning:

      "earth"

    • Description:

      Earthy but ethereal Spanish word name that sounds a lot fresher than its sister Sierra.
  2. Tib

    • Origin:

      English diminutive of Isabel

    • Meaning:

      "pledged to God"

    • Description:

      Tib and Tibb originated in the 13th century as nicknames for Theobald (for boys) and Isabel and Isabella (for girls). As Isabel grew in popularity, Tib(b) was used more often on girls. By the 16th century, Tib was a term for a young girl, much like Tom was for young boys.

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "bringer of blossoms"

    • Description:

      Thallo, the Greek goddess of spring, buds, and blooms has a decidedly less flowery name than her Roman counterpart, Flora. Thallo is one of the Horae in Greek mythology: goddesses associated with the cycle of life, growth and the seasons.
  4. Tea

    • Origin:

      Short form of Dorotea or Mattea

    • Meaning:

      "gift of God"

    • Description:

      As Theo and Thea get more popular, so do Teo and Tea, short forms of the Latinate variations of Theodore and Matthew -- which include Dorotea and Mattea. But like Theo and Thea, Tea can stand perfectly well on its own and blends seamlessly into any Anglophone or European culture, if that is your aim. Some may argue that the Tea version is the prettiest and it's certainly the sleekest.
  5. Tundra

    • Origin:

      Geographical name

    • Description:

      With geographical features like Savannah and Sierra and increasingly getting the baby-name treatment, could icy Tundra also see some use? It's only appeared six times on the Social Security rankings, all in the 1960s and 70s.

      English

    • Meaning:

      "animal name"

  7. Triana

    • Origin:

      Spanish place name

    • Description:

      Triana is a Top 50 girls' name in Spain largely unknown and unused in the US: Only 10 baby girls in the US were given the name in 2017.

Some sources list Triana as a short form of Katherine, a variation of Trina, and you can use it that way to honor an ancestral Katherine.

In Estonian, Tere means 'hello' or 'greetings,' giving the name a friendly, welcoming association. It also appears in Filipino naming traditions. This short, two-syllable name embodies simplicity and warmth with its soft sounds.
