Latin
"white"
An up-and-comer for girls, but still under-the-radar for boys. Alba feels like a possible crossover candidate, on the heels of Nova and Alva, and with the potential for rising nickname Albie.
Alvi
Finnish variation of Albin, Latin
"white"
Although it resembles Alvie, Alvi has separate origins. It comes from the Latin name Albin, meaning "white," while Alvie is derived from Alvin, meaning "noble friend."
Eilwen

Welsh
"white fortress"
Traditional though not overly popular Welsh option, which may have something of a fantasy vibe elsewhere in the world.

Cherokee

An offbeat way to get to Gwen.
Tecwyn
Welsh
"fair, white, beautiful"
A Welsh name for space fans, thanks to Tecwyn Roberts, a pioneering aerospace engineer at NASA.

Row
Diminutive of Rowan or Rowena, Irish, Scottish, Welsh

Ro- names are on the rise — think Roman, Rory, and Rowan — but straightforward and streamlined Row (and Rowe, Roe, and Ro) takes this trend to the next level. The pared-down single syllable gives Row…

Variation of Gaynor, Welsh
"white and smooth"
A strong, classic, simple name that has nonetheless never been overexposed.
