7 Letter Girl Names

Jasmijn

Joelina is a feminine name that developed as an elaboration of Joel, which has Hebrew origins meaning 'Yahweh is God.' The feminine suffix '-ina' adds a gentle, graceful quality to the biblical foundation. This creative extension emerged primarily in the late 20th century as parents began seeking ways to feminize traditional male names. Joelina blends religious heritage with modern naming trends, offering spiritual significance in a contemporary package. Though not among the most common names, it has seen modest usage particularly in Christian communities and among families appreciating its melodic quality. The name provides a distinctive alternative to more common biblical derivatives while maintaining clear religious connections.

Sachiko was one of the first Japanese names familiar to Americans when it was used in the 1950s by actress Shirley Maclaine for her daughter, called the adorable short form Sachi.  While Sachiko does not rank on the US Social Security baby names list, Sachi was given to 25 girls in the most recent year counted.

Although the best-known Kehinde is the male painter Kehinde Wiley, this name is used for both genders in its native Nigeria and can be just as attractive for a girl.

Kehinde

A rare name even among Basque speakers (fewer than 20 women in Spain are called Elixane), this beautiful name has drawn some attention via Elixane Lechemia, the French pro-tennis player. With its trendy "El" beginning, its connections to the perennial Elizabeth, and wonderfully soft "Sha" sound, Elixane is a name that could have potential in English-speaking countries once the X=sh pronunciation issue was overcome.

Elixane

In Pierre Benoit's novel, Antinea is a beautiful and charming queen with a hideous secret: She has a cave wall with 120 niches carved into it, one for each of her lovers. Only 53 have been filled; when all 120 have been filled, Antinea will sit atop a throne in the centre of the cave and rest forever.

Zerlina is a variation of Zerlin, meaning "beautiful dawn". Zerlina is most famous as the wily, clever servant girl in Mozart's opera Don Giovanni, where she is the only character to seemingly get her way.

Zerlina

Although a variant of the operatic Zerlina, Zerline has her own theatrical tale. She is the star character of the opera Fra Diavolo by Daniel Auber. Zerline, daughter of the innkeeper of Terracina, is in love with an impoverished soldier, Lorenzo, but her father wants her to marry the rich old Francesco. Various tragedies and events occur. In the end, Zerline is free to marry her beloved Lorenzo.

Mirabei

The Hindu princess and poetess Meera, was also known as Mira Bai. Mira Bai was a Rajput princess, the only child of Ratan Singh, younger brother of the ruler of Merta. Her royal education included music and religion as well as instruction in politics and government. In the West we usually think of such traditional names as Charlotte and George as <a href="https://nameberry.com/list/453/royal-baby-names">royal baby names</a>, but this adventurous choice breaks the mold. Mirabai combined the Sanskrit "Mira" (meaning ocean) with the suffix -bai (historically added to the names of women as a sign of respect).

Mirabai

This name belongs to the eponymous heroine of Rossini's opera Zelmira (1822) about a (fictional) princess of Lesbos who saves her father and husband and her kingdom. 
 
As a name, it may well be viewed as a from of the Slovakian and Croatian Želimira, just without the diacritics. In this case, it would mean "one who wishes for peace". However, it might also be connected to Arabic names such as Zahra, Amira, Zehra or similar.

Zelmira

Lizzeth is one of the more pleasing modern variations on Elizabeth, keeping the spunky Z sounds and the softer "eth" ending to create a balanced name. In 2014, nine baby girls were given this name in the USA.

Lizzeth

Harleth is a name which probably stems from combining the oh-so-trendy Harlow with the evergreen Elizabeth. However, literary parents may also remember the beautiful but difficult character Gwendolen Harleth from George Eliot's Daniel Deronda. Harleth has a fashionable edge to it, being associated with rising supermodel Harleth Kuusik. We think that Harleth is a pretty alternative to Harlow and hope to see more of it.

Harleth

One of the rarer names to come from the Bible, Cherith has a fresh and modern sound despite its ancient roots. Cherith was the name of the stream that kept Elijah alive during the three years' drought which he announced to King Ahab. 
 
In English, Cherith pleasingly reminds one of the word cherish which is another plus to this underused girls' name, while also having similar sounds to choices like Edith and Delyth.

Cherith

Ava Mae combines two classic feminine names to create a sweet, vintage-inspired double name. Ava, derived from the Latin 'avis' meaning 'bird' or possibly a variant of Eve meaning 'life,' has enjoyed tremendous popularity in recent decades, regularly appearing in top 10 lists. Mae, traditionally a variant spelling of May (referring to the month or possibly meaning 'great' from Maia), serves as a popular middle name with Southern charm and timeless appeal. Together, these short, elegant names create a combination that feels simultaneously classic and contemporary. The pairing reflects the trend of combining a popular first name with a shorter, often vintage middle name that can be used together as a double name, particularly popular in Southern American naming traditions.

Ava-mae

Fathima is a feminine name of Arabic origin, representing a variant spelling of Fatima, which means 'one who abstains' or 'one who weans an infant.' The name holds significant importance in Islamic culture as Fatima al-Zahra was the beloved daughter of Prophet Muhammad and is revered as a model of virtue and piety. This alternate spelling with 'th' instead of 't' is particularly common in South Asian and Southeast Asian Muslim communities. Fathima has a gentle, flowing quality while carrying deep spiritual significance for Muslim families. The name has traveled widely throughout the Islamic world and beyond, maintaining its popularity across generations and cultures while symbolizing feminine strength and devotion.

Fathima

The name of a great seventeenth century African warrior queen, known for her brilliance as an administrator and organizer, and unstinting commitment to peace.  

Nzingha

If you're looking for an unusual alternative to all those Rose names, Rhoswen might be a good choice. This name has the soft sounds we've come to love from the Welsh language but is still not as familiar as Bronwen and Rhiannon.

Rhoswen

A very popular name for boys in Ireland that's well-used throughout the British Isles, Darragh is also occasionally used for girls and certainly sounds feminine or at least unisex to the American ear. Simplified form Dara pushes it further toward the girls' side.
