Names That Mean Fair
- Arwyn

"white; fair"Description:
The Finnish translation of Elvira, a Spanish name that ultimately derives from the Gothic name Guilvira.
- Elvio
Origin:
Italian and Spanish from LatinMeaning:
"blond, fair"Description:
Elvio is a barely-ever-used name that might just be a hidden gem. From the Latin family name Elvius, international bearers of the name include several footballers and the Paraguayan poet Elvio Romero. Parents today might see it as an alternative to more better-known Italianate names like Enzo and Elio.

Russian diminutive of Euphemios, GreekMeaning:

"white or fair lady"Description:
An important name in Irish myth, belonging to a beautiful giantess who was both mother and wife of Brian Boru. It is usually Anglicized as the phonetic Bevin, but also as Vivian.
- Wenn
Origin:
CornishMeaning:
"white / fair"Description:
Like the variation Wenna, Wenn is an early Cornish form of Gwen. Confusion with the English word "when" leads us to suggest that the longer form Wenna would be more "name-like".
- Keelin
Origin:
IrishMeaning:
"slender and fair"Description:
Keelin is a form of Keelan, the Anglicized phonetic form of Caelan or Caoilinn, said to be a unisex name but in practice used almost exclusively for boys. Girls would more often be called Keela, Keeley, or Keely.
- Keelan
Origin:
IrishMeaning:
"slender and fair"Description:
Keelan is the Anglicized, phonetic form of the more traditionally-spelled Caelan, also in use. While this name is said by many sources to be unisex, in practice in modern Ireland it is only given to boys. An interesting, accessible choice largely unknown in the US.

English word nameMeaning:
"the quality of being just, impartial, or fair"Description:
Justice is a fashionable word name, used for both girls and boys. Justice has the distinction of being a virtue name without the religious implications of Faith or Grace. It still feels more male than female, perhaps partly due to the classic Roman name Justus, but Justice has become a more common pick for girls in recent years.
