      "noise or sorrowful"

  5. Solenn
    • Description:

      Solenn is a feminine Breton name with Celtic origins, derived from elements meaning 'solemn' or 'dignified.' This elegant name is particularly popular in Brittany, the Celtic region of northwestern France, where it honors the regional heritage and language. Solenn combines a soft, melodic sound with a meaningful etymology, evoking images of grace and poise. The name gained some international recognition through Breton saint Solenn, as well as through modern bearers like French-Filipino celebrity Solenn Heussaff. The double 'n' ending is characteristic of traditional Breton naming patterns. Solenn offers a distinctive alternative to more common French names while maintaining a feminine, sophisticated quality that works well across cultures.

      "Ellis' town"

  12. Carsen
    • Description:

      Carsen is a contemporary unisex name that originated as a variant spelling of Carson, a surname derived from Scottish and Northern English origins meaning 'son of Carr' or 'son of the marsh-dweller.'
