100+ Rare Girl Names You Don’t Know (Yet!)

Rare girl names — the best ones, anyway — are not only uncommon but also unusual, usable, and fit your personal style.

You may be looking for a name so rare and cool, it’s intimidating (try Ottine or Xareni). Or perhaps you’re on the hunt for one that conveys friendliness from the get-go (how about Finna or Nahee?).

Included here are girl names from cultures all over the world, as well as word names and invented names that haven’t hit the mainstream. You probably haven't heard of these girl names before, so here’s your formal introduction.

Each of these rare girl names was given to 10 babies or fewer in 2023, the most recent year from which we have official Social Security data, however many are truly one-of-a-kind.

But we're genuinely curious — how many of these names do you know? Be sure to head over to the forums to share your score.
