      "work"

    • Description:

      Now that the range of names including the modern Emmeline and Amelia -- relatives of each other, but of neither Emily nor Emma -- has become so fashionable, the original root name Amelina is also due up for reconsideration. A lovely, delicate choice, its main disadvantage is that it sounds like a modern elaboration rather than the original name. And perhaps that it will be so often misspelled and mistaken for other forms of itself. But it is a lovely name with deep roots.

      Spanish

    • Meaning:

      "star"

  11. Eldora

      "covered with gold"

  12. Olimpia

    • Description:

      Olimpia is a feminine name of Greek origin, connected to Mount Olympus, the mythological home of the Greek gods. The name carries connotations of divinity, elevation, and celestial beauty. While the spelling 'Olympia' is more common in English-speaking countries, Olimpia is preferred in many European nations, particularly in Italy, Spain, and Eastern European countries. The name gained historical significance through notable bearers like Saint Olimpia, a 4th-century Byzantine philanthropist. Olimpia has an elegant, classical quality that evokes images of ancient grandeur while remaining distinctive in modern contexts. The name's connection to the Olympic Games also lends associations of achievement, excellence, and international unity, making it appealing for parents drawn to names with both cultural depth and aspirational qualities.

      Spanish variation of Isabel, variation of Elizabeth, Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      "fortunate one"

    • Description:

      A name with several distinguished namesakes: the wife of ancient Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, a famous Italian opera singer, and two Catholic saints--making it both substantial and unusual.
  15. Elodia

    • Origin:

      Spanish variation of Alodia, German

    • Meaning:

      "foreign riches"

    • Description:

      As Elodie filters into the mainstream, parents may turn to the rarer Spanish form Elodia as an alternative.
  16. Reyna

      Spelling variation of Reina

    • Description:

      This variation is actually more popular in the United States than the original Spanish Reina.
  17. Gracia

    • Origin:

      Spanish variation of Grace

    • Description:

      Although Gracia is the literal Spanish translation of Grace and is used as the Grace equivalent in Spanish-speaking countries, where it's pronounced grah-see-ah or grah-thee-ah, it's also a long-time if unusual Grace variation pronounced gray-sha. You might consider Gracia if Grace is getting too commonplace for you.
  18. Santana

    • Origin:

      Spanish, condensed form of Santa Ana

    • Description:

      Santana is a saintly name...or Latin rock band. While traditionally masculine, character Santana Lopez on the show Glee showed the name's potential for a girl as well. Sound-wise, it feels like Savannah with a twist.

      "valuable; hard work, labor"

  20. Almira

    • Description:

      Almira is a feminine name with multiple cultural origins, possibly derived from Arabic "al-amirah" meaning "princess" or "commander," or from Germanic elements meaning "noble" and "famous." The name also has connections to Latin "mirus" meaning "wonderful." Almira has historical usage across several cultures, including Hispanic, Turkish, Arabic, and Eastern European communities. It enjoyed modest popularity in the United States during the late 19th century. The name appears in literary works, including as a character in Handel's opera "Rinaldo." With its melodious sound and multicultural heritage, Almira offers a distinctive yet accessible option with elegant overtones. Its relative rarity in contemporary Western naming makes it stand out while its traditional roots give it substance and history.
