      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "of the lyre; songlike; a personal, emotive poem"

      word name, from the "Australian and New Zealander Army Corps"

    • Meaning:

      "Australian and New Zealander Army Corps"

    • Description:

      To most Australians and New Zealanders, using the name Anzac might feel sacrilegious now, as the ANZAC story has become interwoven with national identity. But Anzac was used as a name for both boys and girls on both sides of the Tasman Sea in the aftermath of the First World War. It was often used in combination with other names associated with battles or military leaders - for example Dardanella Anzac and Verdun Anzac (both girls) and Winston Anzac and Anzac Kitchener (boys).
  5. Monic

    • Description:

      Monic is a feminine name that serves as a streamlined variation of Monica, which derives from Latin origins possibly meaning 'advisor' or from Greek meaning 'solitary.' The simplified spelling gives the name a modern, concise quality while maintaining the essence of its more common form. Though relatively rare, Monic offers a distinctive alternative that preserves the recognizability of Monica while standing apart. The name carries associations with wisdom and thoughtfulness inherited from its traditional form, famously borne by St. Monica, mother of St. Augustine. Parents might choose Monic for its clean, contemporary feel combined with its subtle connection to a classic name with historical significance.

      English word name

    • Meaning:

      "like an angel"

    • Description:

      As the popular 80s and 90s Angelica falls more and more out of favor, word name Angelic is feeling extra fresh.

  8. Epic

    • Origin:

      English word name

    • Meaning:

      "grand, heroic, monumental in scale; a long poem derived from ancient oral tradition"

    • Description:

      Literature and poetry lovers might use Epic as a word name — an epic is a long narrative poem, typically the story of a hero. But epic has taken on a contemporary meaning of "impressive," which makes it somewhat of a virtue name as well.
  9. Vic

    • Description:

      Vic as a feminine name is typically a diminutive form of Victoria, which means "victory" from Latin origins. While more commonly used as a masculine nickname (short for Victor), its usage as a feminine name offers a short, punchy alternative to the more formal Victoria. This brief, one-syllable name carries a modern, androgynous quality that appeals to those seeking gender-neutral options. As a standalone feminine name, Vic is quite rare, giving it distinction while still maintaining connection to the classic Victoria. Its simplicity makes it practical and memorable, while its traditional roots provide historical depth behind its contemporary feel.

With its brief, punchy single syllable, Nic embodies a modern minimalist approach to naming. The name carries a contemporary feel with gender-flexible qualities, as it also appears as a masculine diminutive for Nicholas or Dominic. Originally derived from Greek 'nike' meaning 'victory,' Nic inherits these positive connotations while establishing its own distinct identity. The name's simplicity makes it easily pronounceable across different languages and cultures. While statistics specific to Nic as a standalone name are limited, its usage has been steadily growing since the late 20th century as parents increasingly embrace concise, straightforward names with unisex appeal.
