Vintage Girl Names: How To Find A Cool Old Name

Palma is an appealing Latin name that's both geographical and botanical, referring  to the sunny and culturally rich capital of Majorca and to the foliage of a palm tree. As the word for "palm" in Spanish, Italian, and Croatian, it is occasionally given to girls born on Palm Sunday, and with its similarity to the likes of Alma, Thelma, Velma, and Wilma, it appeared in the US Top 1000 in the early 20th century.

These days, unisex Palmer is preferred, but those for who like the idea of the surname-style moniker but want something more obviously feminine, Palma might be the way to go. TV stars Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright certainly thought so when they named their daughter Palma Elizabeth in 2025.

If you want something more elaborate, there's always the variants Palmira and Palmina to consider.
