      "peace; sun"

    • Description:

      A unisex choice with multiple origins, Soli might be considered a variation (or a diminutive) of the Biblical Solomon, a stately Hebrew name meaning "peace". Additionally, it may connect to the Spanish, Portuguese, Latin, and Norse word for "sun", adding an summery energy to the name.
  4. Lycander

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "wolf man; man of light, man of morning twilight"

    • Description:

      While they may look similar, Lycander is not in fact a variation of Shakespearean Lysander. Pronounced as LIE-kahn-der as LIH-kahn-der, it derives from Lykandros, which gives it two possible meanings: "wolf man" from lykos or "man of light" from lyke.

      Spanish

    • Meaning:

      "lily of the sea"

      A sweet but substantial compound name, Lilimar blends Lili (a short form of Liliana) with Mar, a Spanish word name meaning "sea". Also spelled as Lili Mar or Lilymar, it was possibly invented — or perhaps most notably used — by the parents of actress Lilimar Hernandez, who chose it as a blend of her grandmother's name, Liliana, and as a reference to her birthplace, an island in the Caribbean Sea. We certainly admire their creativity with this honor name!
  6. Calathea
