RELATED:
- Borealis
Origin:
LatinMeaning:
"northern, of the north"Description:
Best associated with the Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis, this distinctive option brings to mind radiant and colorful light displays in the night sky. Derived from Latin, it means "northern" or "of the north" and could make a bold addition to the pool of space and nature related names, especially as a middle name.
- Fenrys
Origin:
Variation of Fenris, NorseMeaning:
"marsh wolf"Description:
Derived from the Old Norse name Fenrisúlfr and Fenrir, meaning "Fenrir-wolf" or "marsh, fenland wolf", Fenris is associated with a monstrous wolf in The Prose Edda, the offspring of Loki and a giantess. Earthy and interesting, this alternative spelling may appeal to fans of Emrys and was used for a character in the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.
- Frenkie
Origin:
Dutch variation of Frankie, LatinMeaning:
"from France; free man"Description:
Friendly and handsome, Frenkie is a Dutch variation of Frankie, spelled phonetically to lean closer to the (American) English pronunciation of the name. It began to climb up the name charts in The Netherlands back in 2019, and a recent year saw it enter the Top 100, in part perhaps due to the fame of Dutch footballer, Frenkie de Jong.
- Kęstutis
Origin:
LithuanianMeaning:
"to cope, endure"Description:
Borne by a 14th-century Lithuanian ruler, known for his military power, Kęstutis is associated with strength, endurance, and survival, via the word kęsti. It was originally used as a diminutive form of other names containing the element, such as Kęsgailas, Kęsmantas, Kęstautas and Kęsvilas.
- Nennius
Origin:
HistoricalDescription:
An ancient name with historical significance, Nennius appears in the work of the 12th-century chronicler, Geoffrey of Monmouth, in which it is borne by a prince who fought Julius Caesar's army when they invaded Britain. In addition to this, it is the name of a 9th-century Welsh monk, credited for writing the History of the Britons (also known as Historia Brittonum), though this is disputed.
- Dainius
Origin:
LithuanianMeaning:
"poet, singer"Description:
Sometime interpreted as a masculine form of Daina, this name is also used as the word for "poet", "bard", or "singer" in Lithuanian. Notably borne by basketball player, Dainius Adomaitis and ice hockey player Dainius Zubrus, its Latvian equivalent is Dainis.
- Galileo
Origin:
ItalianMeaning:
"from Galilee"Description:
Rare for a boy and almost unheard of for a girl, Love Is Blind stars Bliss Poureetezadi and Zack Goytowski made the bold decision to name their daughter this in 2024. Bringing to mind the great Renaissance astronomer and mathematician, Galileo refers to someone from Galilee, a Biblical place name associated with Jesus's miracles in the New Testament.
- Ilmari
Origin:
Short form of Ilmarinen, FinnishMeaning:
"air"Description:
Poetic and airy, but perhaps a little more grounded than its rare longer form, Ilmari is a Finnish name, with connections to mythology. Ilmarinen is the creator and personification of the sky, who can work with metal and create almost anything. His name comes from ilma, meaning "air" and he's associated with creativity and curiosity.
- Azalaïs
Origin:
Occitan form of Adelais, GermanicMeaning:
"noble"Description:
An Occitan and Medieval French form of Adelais, this name is ultimately related to the noble and stately Adelaide. It is likely the source of stylish French Zélie.
- Albatross
Origin:
Bird nameMeaning:
"large seabird; the diver"Description:
An undiscovered bird name for those looking for alternatives to Wren, Raven, and Peregrine, the albatross is a large seabird, made legendary by Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1798). Since then, it has become a symbol of innocence and God's creation, and killing one is deemed to bring bad luck.
- Chenaniah
Origin:
Variation of Kenaniah, HebrewMeaning:
"Yahweh establishes"Description:
A variation of the rare Biblical name, Kenaniah, this form appears in the King James Bible. While the more approachable K- spelling has appeared several times in the US stats, this form has yet to rank.
- Castle
Origin:
English word nameMeaning:
"fort"Description:
A powerful word and surname, conjuring up ideas of royalty, drawbridges, and knights, Castle is currently on the up for boys in the US, though it's yet to enter the charts for girls. With recent interest in Chapel and Banks, however, and the potential for nickname Cassie, Castle doesn't seem too far-fetched. Derived from the Latin castellum, meaning "fortified place", it was given to 25 boys in a recent year, and with its connection to protection and the Disney Castle, it may just start to appeal as a girl name too.
- Minogue
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"descendant of Muineog, descendant of the monk"Description:
Best associated with singer Kylie, Minogue may appeal in the same way as Winslet, Aniston, Bowie, and Mercury: a celeb surnames with stylish sounds. Nicknames Minnie and Moe may make it feel more usable too.
- Wulfrun
Origin:
Old English, Anglo-Saxon, "wolf secret"Meaning:
"wolf secret"Description:
A strong, historical name, Wulfrun combines the elements wulf ("wolf") and run ("rune, secret, lore") to give the slightly mystical meanings of "rune of the wolf" or "wolf's secret lore". It was notably borne by a 10th-century noblewoman, known for owning Hēatūn, a "principle farm" in the West Midlands, where she endowed a church. The region went on to become the city and borough of Wolverhampton in England, where many places are still named after her.
- Rijn
Origin:
Variation of Rein or short form of Marijn, DutchMeaning:
"advice, counsel; of the sea, of Mars"Description:
With the strong, succinct sound of Reign, Rein, Rain, and Rayne, Rijn is a Dutch name, used as both a stand-alone name and as a nickname. While it may look unfamiliar to English eyes, names ending in -ijn are familiar in The Netherlands.
- Giedrius
Origin:
LithuanianMeaning:
"clear, serene"Description:
An easy going Lithuanian name with a calming meaning, Giedrius is a familiar option in its native country. It ultimately comes from the Greek phaidrós or gai̇̃sas, via the Lithuanian gaidrus meaning "serene, clear".
- Lebanah
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"moon"Description:
A rare Biblical choice, Lebanah is a poetic Hebrew name, ultimately from lavan
- Pantalaimon
Origin:
Literature, GreekMeaning:
"all compassionate"Description:
Borrowed from the Greek panteleimon, a name that was also given to the patron saint of doctors and midwives, St. Pantleon, this form was used by the writer Philip Pullman in his popular series, His Dark Materials. Meaning "all compassionate", it is borne by the main character's dæmon (an manifestation of a person's inner-self, appearing outside their body as an animal).
- Manolya
Origin:
TurkishMeaning:
"magnolia"Description:
A floral Turkish name with a pretty sound, Manolya literally translates to "magnolia". While it doesn't make the popularity charts in its native country, it has seen some usage as a given name.

A rare, ancient feeling Germanic name, Rochbert may appeal to those who enjoy Robert and Rocco but are looking for something truly distinctive.
