Dywanna

Dzaria

This pretty name, authentically spelled Džejla, comes from the Turkish girl name Ceylan (jay-LAN), and originally from a Persian word for gazelle. It shares its sprightly meaning with the names Tabitha and Dorcas. Outside of Bosnia, however, it is likely to look like an over-complicated way of spelling Jayla.

Dzejla

Originally used as a short form of Džejlana, Džejna is a familiar choice in Bosnia and Herzegovina where it has appeared in the Top 100 on and off since 2009. While the similar Džejla is even more popular, Džejna holds plenty of appeal, thanks to its springy yet elegant animal meaning and its succinct sound (JAY-nah).

Dzya

A modern Irish name, currently on the rise, Éada is likely derived from Éadaoin, a figure from Irish legend. Meaning "passion" or "jealously", it may appeal to those who want a distinctly Irish choice but also enjoy the vintage sounds of Ada or popular Ava. 

Éada

Typically spelled as Éala (in which case it would be pronounced like Ella), this name comes from the Irish word for "swan". Its accented form appeared in the Irish Top 50 in a recent year, though this variation may appeal as more closely tied to the bird, or closer in sound to Alice or Alan.

It may also be considered a masculine name in Hawaii, where it is viewed as a variation of the English Earl. 

Eala

Eana

Not to be confused with the Irish boy name, Éanna, this un-accented form is occasionally used as a feminine name in the US, likely inspired by Ianna, Giana, Jeanna, and Juana, all feminizations of John. It could be be pronounced as ee-an-uh or ee-ah-nuh depending on preference. 

Eanna

Éanna is the modern Irish form of Old Irish Énna, which may derive from the word for bird, <i>én</i>. It was worn by several ancient kings, heroes and saints. Outside of Ireland, it is better known in its anglicized version, Enda, which also has the benefit of a more guessable pronunciation to non-Irish speakers. In its homeland, however, Éanna is rising and entered the Top 100 boy names in 2023.
