The name has gained some popularity in recent decades as part of the trend toward surnames as first names and names with the popular '-an' ending.

  5. Buhler

    • Description:

      Buhler is primarily known as a German and Swiss surname rather than a given name. It derives from Middle High German 'büheler,' meaning 'hill dweller' or someone who lived on or near a hill. As an occupational or geographical surname, it identified families by their location or terrain. When used as a first name, which is quite rare, Buhler represents a modern trend of transforming family surnames into given names, often to honor family heritage or ancestry. This practice became more common in the 20th century, particularly in North America. Buhler as a first name remains exceedingly uncommon, appealing to parents seeking a distinctive name with Germanic roots or those looking to preserve a family surname that might otherwise be lost.

  7. Tevish

    • Description:

      Tevish is a masculine name with possible Scottish or Irish Gaelic origins, likely derived from the name Tavish or a variant of Thomas. Tavish itself comes from the Gaelic 'Tamhas,' a form of Thomas, which ultimately derives from the Aramaic word for 'twin.' The spelling variation with 'e' instead of 'a' gives Tevish a distinctive quality while maintaining its Celtic roots. The name carries a strong, concise sound with its two syllables and distinctive ending. While extremely rare in contemporary usage statistics, Tevish offers a connection to Celtic heritage in a compact, accessible form. It might appeal to parents seeking a name with traditional roots but uncommon usage, offering both cultural connection and individuality for a son.
  8. Janika

    • Description:

      Janika is a masculine name with diverse cultural roots. Most commonly, it appears as a Hungarian and Finnish male variant of John (János/Johannes), meaning "God is gracious." In Estonian culture, it also exists as a male name. Despite being used for boys in these European contexts, Janika can cause confusion in English-speaking regions where the -ka suffix often signals feminine names. The name has remained relatively uncommon internationally but maintains steady usage within its traditional cultural spheres. Janika carries a melodic quality with its three syllables and conveys a sense of heritage and uniqueness for those connected to Hungarian, Finnish, or Estonian backgrounds. Its rarity in Western countries makes it a distinctive choice for parents seeking something uncommon yet traditional.

  12. Tayden

    • Description:

      Tayden is a modern masculine name that follows the popular contemporary pattern of blending familiar name elements. It likely combines the 'Tay-' prefix (as in Taylor or Tayler) with the trendy '-den' suffix seen in names like Aiden, Jayden, and Brayden. Created in the early 2000s during the height of the '-den'/'-dan' name trend, Tayden exemplifies the modern approach to creating new names with familiar sounds. While not among the most popular modern coinages, it has seen steady usage in the United States since its emergence.

      • Description:

        Rhodas is an uncommon masculine variation of the feminine name Rhoda, which has Greek origins meaning "rose" or "from Rhodes." While Rhoda appears in the New Testament as a servant girl in the Acts of the Apostles, the masculine Rhodas form is exceedingly rare. This gender shift represents a modern adaptation, similar to how some traditionally feminine names have been reimagined as masculine options. The name carries botanical associations through its connection to the rose flower, symbolizing beauty and passion. The addition of the final 's' gives the name a distinctive Greek or Latin masculine quality.

This distinctive spelling emerged primarily in the United States from the 1980s onward.
