A whimsical choice from the 1923 sci-fi novel Aelita by Aleksey Tolstoy, the name belongs to a Martian princess who lives on Mars in an advanced yet divided society. In the book (and its subsequent film), her name is said to mean "starlight seen for the last time".
 
While that may be the meaning in the fictional Martian language, Tolstoy may have been inspired by the Ancient Greek element aer meaning "wind, atmosphere, mist, space", along with names such as Elita ("noble, pious"), Aelia ("sun"), Elizaveta ("pledged to God"), or similar. 
 
The name briefly ranked in Latvia back in the 60s and has featured on characters in the 2006 animated series Code Lyoko and the 2014 video game Lifeless Planet. There's also a Russian literary award called the Aelita Prize for works of science fiction, while artist Aelita Andre is a real life bearer.
 
The name is said somewhere between ou-LEE-tuh and ie-LEE-tuh (like the sounds in out and lie).

Afifa

Most Africas today would be named for the continent, but the name actually existed in Scotland in medieval times, where there was a Celtic queen named Affrica. Africa has also been a Spanish name for girls since 1421. The church of the Virgin "Nuestra Senora de Africa" is in Ceuta, the Spanish city she is Patron of, in North Africa.
 There have been several other theories as to the origin of the name. Some believe it refers to the name of the ancient Berber people who inhabited North Africa, others believe Africa means "greyish" in reference to the color of sand, and yet another theory is that it is a Phoenician word meaning "colony," as Africa was once a colony of the Roman Empire. To complicate matters further, spelled Affrica, it is also used in Spanish-speaking countries, meaning "pleasant."
 Africa has been a recorded name in the U.S. since the eighteenth century.
