Names Ending in A for Girls

Attica has not taken off as a baby name for girls the way Atticus has for boys partly because it's the name of an infamous prison in upstate New York where an deadly riot took place in 1971. Fewer than 5 baby girls were named Attica in the US in 2021, but half a century after the riots and with the rise of brother name Atticus, that well could change.

Attica Locke is a prize-winning American novelist. Attica is the region of Greece that includes Athens.

Attica

A Roman name that's unused by English speakers today, but might appeal as a shorter, lighter alternative to Aurelia. The Latin vocabulary word aula also meant "hall".

Aula

A super-popular name in its native Lithuania, Austėja was in Top 10 there from 2003 until 2017, and in a recent year, it still ranked in the Top 20. In Lithuanian mythology, Austėja was the goddess of bees and honey, associated with growth and protection. 

Austėja

The name of an American cosmetics company which was inspired by the ancient traditional medicine  practices known as Ayurveda, literally "knowledge of longevity" in Sanskrit. Unfortunately, when shortened to Aveda, the literal meaning in Sanskrit becomes "not knowledge" – no doubt not what the company's founder intended. If you can get past this, a pretty and evocative name associated with holistic health and beauty.

Aveda

A pretty name with an admirable meaning, but note the "wh" is pronounced like an English "f".

Belissa

Not a traditional name, but this Romance phrase rolls off the tongue so easily we're surprised no one used it sooner — it first appeared on the US charts in 2020. Its mirror-image name, Rosabella, is growing in popularity, and we can see Bellarosa doing the same.

Bellarosa

Belma is a feminine name with Bosnian, Turkish, and broader Balkan origins. In Bosnian, it's believed to mean 'white gazelle,' combining beauty and grace in its imagery. The name gained particular popularity in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the 20th century and remains moderately common there today. Belma has a gentle, melodious quality with its balanced syllables and soft consonants. Outside the Balkans and Turkey, the name remains relatively uncommon, giving it an exotic appeal while still being accessible in pronunciation for international speakers. Belma carries cultural connections to both European and Middle Eastern traditions, reflecting the rich multicultural heritage of the regions where it originated. Its simplicity and elegant sound give it timeless appeal.
