- Amalfrida
Origin:
GermanMeaning:
"noble peace"Description:
Part Amalia, part Winifred, part Frederika, Amalfrida is an Old Germanic name, combining the elements amal and fridu, to give the charming meaning, "noble peace". With a hint of historical fantasy about it, it could make a memorable choice, but with grounding nicknames Molly, Mallie, Freddie, Alfie, Frida, and Ami.
- Velvel
Origin:
YiddishMeaning:
"little wolf"Description:
Velvel is an animal name in Yiddish, derived from the word volf. It is the Yiddish alternative to the Hebrew Zeev, though it is sometimes used as a diminutive form of the latter.
- Satora
Origin:
LatinMeaning:
"sower, planter, originator"Description:
A rare name, ultimately from the Latin sator, Satora relates to beginnings and sowing seeds, which may appeal to those just starting a family. Also relating to a minor Roman deity of agriculture, the Basque word for a mole (as in the animal), and possibly to the Japanese name Satoru meaning "enlightenment, to know", Satora could be an interesting way to get to nicknames Tori or Story.
- Storai
Origin:
PashtoMeaning:
"star"Description:
A celestial choice, Storai is quietly used in Afghanistan as a feminine given name and as a surname. Meaning "star" in Pashto, it is also used as a surname, again in Afghanistan but also in Italy where it may be a variation of Storia ("history").
- Eibhlín
Origin:
Irish form of Aveline and Evelyn, GermanMeaning:
"desired; or water, island"Description:
The Irish variation of Evelyn and Aveline, Eibhlín appears in the title of a love song by 17th century, Eibhlín a Rún, written by composer and harpist, Cearbhall Óg Ó Dálaigh. It can be pronounced with either an "ayv" sound at the beginning, or an "ehv" sound, depending on regional dialect.
- Tale
Origin:
Norwegian, German, NorseMeaning:
"noble; thunder; story"Description:
A gentle sounding name with multiple origins, Tale may be a variation of Thale, a popular choice in Norway. As such, it comes from either the Germanic element adal and is used as shortform of Adalheid, or it is a variant of Tole and Tóli, diminutives of Old Norse names that evoke the thunder god, Thor.
- Aelita
Origin:
LiteratureMeaning:
"starlight seen for the last time"Description:
A whimsical choice from the 1923 sci-fi novel Aelita by Aleksey Tolstoy, the name belongs to a Martian princess who lives on Mars in an advanced yet divided society. In the book (and its subsequent film), her name is said to mean "starlight seen for the last time".
- Ceferiana
Origin:
Elaboration of Ceferina, Spanish, GreekMeaning:
"west wind"Description:
Ceferina is the Spanish feminine form of Zephyr, ultimately derived from Zephyros, the Greek god of the west wind. Ceferiana is a rare, embellished variation, predominantly though quietly used in South America.
- Narjis
Origin:
ArabicMeaning:
"narcissus"Description:
A floral Arabic name which holds significance to those who follow Twelver Shi'ism (the largest group of Shia Muslims), Narjis is said to have been the name of Muhamad al-Mahdi's mother. Also known as the Hidden Iman, Muhamad al-Mahdi is believed to be last of the Twelve Imans who will appear at the end of times to bring peace and redemption to Islam.
- Elvan
Origin:
Turkish, CornishMeaning:
"colors; light; spark"Description:
A multicultural choice with a mystical feel, Elvan is both a Turkish name meaning "colors" (or sometimes "colorful hands"), and a Cornish name, likely derived from Elwen and Elouan to mean "light". From its Turkish roots, it is used as a unisex choice and may appeal to those who also enjoy Evren. From its Cornish origins, it is associated with a Cornish and Breton saint, or, alternatively, with a Cornish word meaning "spark".
- Lylou
Origin:
Variation of Lilou, French, OccitanMeaning:
"lily; lily + renowned warrior"Description:
An alternative spelling of the sweet French Lilou, used as both a diminutive of Liliane and as a compound name, blending Lili- with Louise. This variation made the French Top 100 in the 2010s, though more recently, it has fallen back down the charts, sitting just within the Top 500.
- Lisey
Origin:
Diminutive of Elisabeth, HebrewMeaning:
"pledged to God"Description:
A sweet alternative to Lisa, Elise, and Lizzy, Lisey appears in the title of a Stephen King novel, Lisey's Story, a psychological horror novel about the widow of a famous author. It may appeal to those who enjoy nickname names but want something unexpected.
- Adélie
Origin:
Elaboration of Adele, French, GermanMeaning:
"noble"Description:
A sweet, elaborated form of the sleek Adele, Adélie is the traditional French spelling of this Ad- name. Briefly popular in France back in the 90s, Adalee and Adalie are more familiar in the US, though Adélie may appeal to those who enjoy Elodie and Amelie, but want something rarer.
- Aymeric
Origin:
French variation of Aimeric and Heimirch, German, EnglishMeaning:
"estate ruler; home ruler"Description:
Pronounced with either two or three syllables, Aymeric is a rare, French way to honor a Henry. Derived from Aimeric, itself from the Germanic Heimrich and the English Henry, Aymeric makes an unexpected twist on a classic.
- Siyad
Origin:
ArabicMeaning:
"fisherman, hunter"Description:
Siyad is likely derived from the Arabic word sayaad meaning "hunter", "gunner", or "fisherman", making this an occupational Arabic name, equivalent to the popular, outdoorsy English choices, like Hunter, Fisher, and Sawyer. Alternatively, some sources suggest Siyad is a variation of Siad or Sayyid meaning "lord, master, chief", of Sa'd, Suad, and Saad, meaning "blessed, fortunate".
- Enara
Origin:
BasqueMeaning:
"swallow (bird)"Description:
Warm and friendly in sound, with a stylish and nature-connected meaning, Enara comes from the Basque word for the agile bird species, the swallow. A popular choice in its native Basque country, and a familiar choice in Spain, it is rarely heard in the US, despite the popularity of Spanish variation, Ainara.
- Mjöll
Origin:
Icelandic form of Mjǫll, Old NorseMeaning:
"fresh, powdery snow"Description:
With ties to Norse mythology and an evocative, wintery meaning, Mjöll is the Icelandic form of one of legendary children of King Snær, and is sometimes considered a snow goddess, owing to the meaning of her name. Loosely pronounced as MYUR'tch, we'd recommend listening to it said in Icelandic to understand the sounds.
- Azelma
Origin:
Literary variation of Anselma, GermanMeaning:
"God helmet; divine protection"Description:
A literary choice that appears in Victor Hugo's 19th century classic, Les Misérables, Azelma is the second daughter of the Thénardiers, a sister to Eponine and later Gavroche. As a child, she is spoiled and pampered, but her adult life is spent in poverty, helping her parents with their various schemes; she does not appear in the popular musical adaptation of the novel.

Origin:
Feminine form of Biǫrn and Björn, variation of Vera, Bereket, or BerachaMeaning:
