  • Panya

    African, Swahili; or, Russian, diminutive of Stephania

    "mouse, tiny one; or, crowned one"

    Panya is a multicultural possibility with a sound that's pleasing to the English-speaking ear, though the Swahili translation, which might also be "rat," makes it less than savory as an African name.

  • Pili

    African, Swahili

    "second born"

    Might frequently be understood as "pilly." Can also be a short form of Pilar -- though the long form is better.

  • Pili

    African, Swahili

    "second born"

    Will be frequently misunderstood as Pele or, worse, "pilly".
