RELATED:
- Aidas
Origin:
LithuanianMeaning:
"echo"Description:
An intriguing Lithuanian word name with a flowing sound, Aidas means "echo, reverberation", which could make it a particularly appropriate choice for a baby who happens to look very much like a relative, or for the son of a musical family. Notable bearers include retired footballer Aidas Preikšaitis, artist Aidas Bareikis, and figure skater Aidas Reklys. It remains a familiar choice in Lithuania.
- Havoc
Origin:
English word nameMeaning:
"widespread destruction or mayhem"Description:
Havoc may be viewed in two ways: a violent boy name associated with widespread destruction and devastation, or a more playful choice, associated with mayhem and mischief, a more gentle kind of chaos. Appearing in the US stats since 2008 (and yet to be give to more than 20 boys in a single year), a recent count saw 13 boys given the name. Still, with Rowdy and Wilder in style, and actor Rory Culkin choosing it for his daughter in 2026, this name could be one to keep an eye on.
- Lyrania
Origin:
Variation of Lyra or combination of Lyra and RaniaMeaning:
"lyre, harp; heavenly harp"Description:
Lyrania is a contemporary choice that may be viewed in several ways. On one hand, it's a pretty, elaborated form of the Greek Lyra, giving it a hint of Liliana, while on the other, it may be viewed as a smooth name, blending Lyra with the Arabic Rania, giving it the poetic meaning of "heavenly Lyra".
- Aamos
Origin:
Finnish and Estonian form of Amos, HebrewMeaning:
"carried by God, load, burden"Description:
Associated with the Jewish prophet and author of the Book of Amos in the Old Testament, Aamos is the Finnish and Estonian variation, ultimately deriving from the Hebrew amas meaning "load, burden", or more figuratively, "carried by God".
- Flare
Origin:
Word nameMeaning:
"sudden bright light"Description:
A name that's sure to catch everyone's attention, Flare is a bright and fiery choice, usually used to describe a sudden bright light, often released as a signal, a message, a call for help, or simply to illuminate an area. While some may find it overdramatic or too connected to having a flare up of illness, allergies, or negative emotions, it could also be seen as an alternative to Claire, Blair, or Ember.
- Myskia
Origin:
Medieval Scandinavian, SwedishMeaning:
"bat"Description:
Similar in feel to Saskia, Mitzi, Myka, and Mia, this alluring Scandinavian name blends Gothic elements with sweet, spiky sounds. Derived from an Old Swedish word for "bat", it could make an intriguing choice for fans of Dracula or for a Halloween baby.
- Sturla
Origin:
Icelandic, Norwegian, Old NorseMeaning:
"to disturb"Description:
An Icelandic and Norwegian name, ultimately from Old Norse, Sturla means "to disturb", giving it a powerful presence. Pronounced as STUYRT-LA in Icelandic and STOOR-la in Norwegian, it is notably borne by Olympian Sturla Holm Lægreid.
- Fig
Origin:
Fruit nameDescription:
A playful word name, Fig is probably best saved for a nickname, a fictional character, or a pet — or perhaps a middle option. Culturally associated with cultivation and refinement in ancient Greece, with chastity in the Bible, and enlightenment in Buddhism, this fruit name may make a fun nickname option for Felix, Frederick, and Finnegan.
- Ridoc
Origin:
LiteratureDescription:
Appearing in the popular fantasy series, Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, this name is borne by a dragon rider called Ridoc Gamlyn. Part Ryan and Ryder, part Caradoc and Roderick, it feels contemporary and cool, but ancient and fantastical at the same time.
- Ruach
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"wind, spirit"Description:
Sharp yet gentle, Ruach holds the appeal of Reuben, Malachi, and Rufus, but is far rarer than all three. Derived from a Hebrew word meaning "spirit" — as in a person's soul, mind, personality, and energy — and also "wind, air, atmosphere", it doubles up as a nature-related option and a spiritual choice.
In Judaism, the holy spirit — that is the presence and influence of God over the universe — is known as Ruach Ha-Kodesh, giving it the additional meaning of "spirit of God".
- Wolfgang
Origin:
GermanMeaning:
"traveling wolf"Description:
A bold, historical name that's been quietly on the rise for boys in recent years, Wolfgang still sound unlikely for a girl. Derived from Old German, and associated with a roaming wolf, it has been chosen by creators over on Instagram for their daughter. With potential for nickname Wolfie, perhaps more parents might take the same daring step in the future.
- Aynura
Origin:
Kyrgyz and Azerbaijani form of Aynur, Turkish, ArabicMeaning:
"moonlight"Description:
A name with an evocative meaning, Aynura blends the Turkish element ay with the Arabic nur to create a name with a beautiful sound. Also written as Ainura in Kyrgyz and Aynurə in Azerbaijani, it is notably borne by content creator, Aynura Nazarova (aynurasblog) and joins the collection of moon-related options.
- Cascade
Origin:
English word nameMeaning:
"waterfall"Description:
A rare nature name, conjuring up imagery of flowing waterfalls and rushing water, Cascade debuted in the the US stats in 2025, when it was given to five boys. Unusual as it may be, it shares sounds with the likes of Caden, Cassian, Casey, and Casper, while also having does have usable nicknames, including Cass and Cade.
- Ozilline
Origin:
English, meaning unknownDescription:
A femininization of Ozzy, Oswald, Uzziel, or Oziel, or perhaps a variation of Ozella or Azelie, this name was chosen by musician Amy Ray, one half of the folk rock duo, Indigo Girls, for her daughter born in 2013. Ozilline is also the name of one of the group's songs, named for Ray's grandmother, giving Ozilline a touch of retro charm. It may be an unexpected route to nickname Ozzie, or an alternative to names like Mazikeen, Marceline, or Ottilie.
- Emerance
Origin:
Variation of Émerence, FrenchMeaning:
"merit, deserve"Description:
Also spelled as Emerence, Émerence, Emérence, and Émérance, this French name ultimately comes from the Latin Emerentius, meaning "to deserve". With the possibility of nickname Emmy and a virtuous meaning, it makes an alluring choice.
- Franjo
Origin:
Croatian form of FrancisMeaning:
"French, free man"Description:
A spirited variation of Francis (and Frank), predominantly used in Croatia, but also in Bosnia, Serbia, Slovenia, Germany, and Austria too (albeit more quietly). Notable bearers include skier Franjo von Allmen and politician Franjo Tuđman.
- Dennings
Origin:
English, IrishMeaning:
"descendent of Duinnín"Description:
An alternative to names like Desmond, Denver, Banks, and Jennings, Dennings may also work as a fresh way to honor a Dennis or Denise. It's an Anglicization of the Irish surname Ó Duinnín, literally meaning "descendant of Duinnín", or more figuratively, "descendent of the brown haired man" or "descendent of the chieftain".
