Five Letter Girl Names

  1. Naome

The biblical Naomi was Ruth's mother-in-law in the Old Testament, known for her loyalty and wisdom.

With its brief, distinctive sound, Hesba has an antique quality reminiscent of bygone eras. The name remains extremely rare in modern usage, making it an uncommon choice that carries a sense of literary heritage. Hesba's concise two-syllable structure gives it a certain crispness while its unfamiliarity offers uniqueness for those seeking an uncommon name with historical echoes.
