Big sister Lynn was given to only about 50 baby girls in one recent year, and Lyn to only six.

      "jasmine flower"

As a standalone feminine name, Van has a minimalist, modern appeal with its brief, single-syllable structure.

Though rare for girls, its cross-cultural connections and straightforward pronunciation make it an intriguing choice for parents seeking something distinctively brief yet meaningful.

  14. Ethelyn

      Ethelyn is a vintage feminine name with Anglo-Saxon roots, derived from the Old English elements 'æðel' meaning 'noble' or 'royal' and 'lyn,' a diminutive suffix implying 'little' or 'beloved.'

Though it declined in usage mid-century, it's seeing renewed interest among parents drawn to vintage revivals. The name offers several nickname possibilities, including Ethel, Etty, or Lynn. Ethelyn balances formal elegance with a gentle, approachable quality in its full form.

      Welsh

  16. Brecklyn

    • Description:

      Brecklyn is a modern feminine name that emerged in the early 21st century as part of the trend toward place-inspired names with the popular '-lyn' suffix.

This contemporary creation embodies the American preference for unique, location-inspired names with a melodic quality. Brecklyn has gained modest popularity since 2010, particularly in the United States, appealing to parents seeking a name that sounds familiar yet distinctive.

  17. Lorien

    • Origin:

      Literary name

    • Description:

      The name Lórien appears several times in Tolkien’s novels. It’s both a place name and a character name, and although the character of Lórien (Master of Visions and Dreams, also called Irmo) is male, there’s no reason why this name couldn’t work on a girl as well. Case in point: Tori Amos named her daughter, born in 2000, Natashya Lórien.
  18. Heidrun

    • Origin:

      Norse mythological name

    • Description:

      Heidrun, which is occasionally used in modern Europe, was the name of a mythological goat who nibbled from the tree of life, transforming her milk into mead. You might think of Heidrun as a cross between Heidi and Gudrun, but there's a good reason this one's never caught on in the US: It's still stuck on that mythical Norse hillside.
  19. Doutzen

    • Origin:

      Dutch, meaning unknown

    • Description:

      Dutch supermodel Doutzen (pronounced doubt-son) Kroes has introduced us to a name from the Netherlands that might have a hard time in an American classroom and is nowhere near as glamorous as its bearer.
  20. Falon

    • Description:

      Falon is a unisex name with Celtic origins, though more commonly used for girls in contemporary naming practices. It derives from the Irish word 'falón' meaning 'leader' or 'in charge,' suggesting strength and authority. Alternatively, it may relate to the Old Irish term for 'descended from a wolf' or 'jackal,' conveying wildness and independence. Falon gained modest recognition in the 1980s and 1990s, partly influenced by characters in popular television shows. The name offers a balance between uncommon distinctiveness and familiar sound patterns, making it accessible despite its relative rarity. With its short, strong phonetics and meaningful heritage, Falon appeals to parents seeking nature-connected names with Celtic roots and a contemporary feel.
