1798 Four Letter Girl Names
- Tait
Description:
Tait as a feminine name is an uncommon gender crossover from what was traditionally a Scottish masculine surname and given name. Derived from Old Norse, it originally meant 'cheerful' or 'merry.' While still relatively rare for girls, Tait exemplifies the modern trend of adopting surnames and traditionally male names for females. It offers a strong, distinctive single-syllable option with a crisp sound. The name carries associations of brightness, happiness, and a straightforward, unpretentious quality. Tait may appeal to parents seeking a brief, distinctive name that avoids overly feminine frills while maintaining a contemporary edge.
- Rivi
Origin:
Diminutive of Riva or Rivka, HebrewMeaning:
"maiden; join, tie"Description:
Fresh and zippy but perfectly well-grounded, Rivi may be interpreted as a diminutive form of Rivka (the Hebrew form of Rebecca) or Riva, meaning "maiden, girl". There is the possibility however, that some parents might be using it as a twist on word name River (in the same vein as Novi, Maevie, Jovie, and Covie).

Variation of LitaDescription:

- Lizz
Description:
Lizz is a feminine name that serves as a diminutive form of Elizabeth, which has Hebrew origins meaning "God is my oath" or "pledged to God." As a shorter variation, Lizz offers a modern, spunky alternative to the more traditional Elizabeth or the common nickname Liz. While less common than other Elizabeth derivatives like Lizzie or Beth, Lizz has its own distinctive charm with its double 'z' ending. The name gained some usage in the late 20th century as parents sought unique variations of classic names. Lizz projects an image of someone who is energetic, independent, and straightforward, while still carrying the historical richness of its parent name.

- Joye
Description:
Joye is a feminine name with Medieval English origins, representing an archaic spelling of the modern name Joy. Derived from the Old French word 'joie,' meaning happiness or delight, this name directly embodies positivity and cheerfulness.

Particularly popular during the Middle Ages, Joye experienced a brief revival in the early 20th century. Though relatively rare today, it appeals to parents seeking short, meaningful names with historical roots. The name's straightforward association with happiness makes it a positive choice that bridges old-world charm with modern simplicity.
