While not widely common in English-speaking countries, Madia offers a distinctive alternative to more popular names like Madeline or Madison, combining exotic appeal with straightforward pronunciation.

      Feminine variation of Amado, Spanish

    • Meaning:

      "loved"

    • Description:

      Amada is an unusual Spanish name that's becoming more famous thanks to Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes, who named their second daughter Amada Lee and their first Esmeralda Amada. Amada was also the name of two characters played by Mendes and, not coincidentally, her grandmother's name. In 2015, it was used for only 21 girls while brother name Amado was used for twice as many girls, but we predict the name will become more popular thanks to its new star power. Related names include the Latin saints' name Amatus, the musical Amadeo, and even Amy and Amanda.

The name carries a vintage charm while featuring melodic sounds that align with contemporary naming trends. Potential nicknames include Luv, Venia, or Nia. Luvenia offers parents seeking uncommon names an option with historical precedent but little current usage, making it both distinctive and authentically traditional.

  11. Filis

    • Description:

      Filis is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Phyllis, which has ancient Greek origins. The original name Phyllis comes from the Greek word meaning 'foliage' or 'leaf,' and in Greek mythology, Phyllis was a character who transformed into an almond tree. This alternative spelling gives the classic name a more phonetic and distinctive appearance. While Phyllis was quite popular in the United States during the first half of the 20th century, peaking in the 1930s, the Filis variation has always been much rarer. The name has a gentle, classical feel with its mythological connections and natural meaning, though both the standard and variant forms have significantly declined in usage in recent decades.

  18. Ysabella

    • Description:

      Ysabella is an ornate variant spelling of Isabella, ultimately derived from Elizabeth, which has Hebrew origins meaning "pledged to God" or "God is my oath." This elaborate spelling with its initial 'Y' gives the classic name a distinctive, exotic flair while maintaining its regal associations and historical connections to queens and nobility across Europe. The 'Y' beginning evokes Spanish or medieval European influences, giving the name an antique, romantic quality. While less common than the standard Isabella, Ysabella appeals to parents seeking a unique twist on a beloved classic. The name allows for popular nicknames like Bella, Ysa, or Ysabel. Despite its unusual spelling, the name maintains the melodic flow and feminine elegance that has made Isabella a perennial favorite across many cultures.

      Spanish place- and surname

  20. Rosemunda

    • Description:

      Rosemunda is a rare feminine name with Germanic roots, combining elements meaning 'horse' (from 'hros') and 'protection' or 'guardian' (from 'mund'). This elegant name has historical connections to several notable European figures, including Rosamund Clifford, the mistress of King Henry II of England, though she used the more common spelling. Rosemunda offers a romantic, medieval quality with its flowing sounds and evocative imagery. The name also benefits from connections to the rose flower through folk etymology, adding associations with beauty and love to its original meaning of strength and protection.
