- Howdy
Origin:
American word or short form of HowardMeaning:
"friendly, western greeting; high guardian, brave heart"Description:
While many would consider Howdy best left as a greeting with a cowboy-ish air, content creator and Instagrammer Katie Marshall put it on the map as a baby name in 2025 when she chose it for her son.
Used as an informal way of saying "hello", it's particularly associated with the western and southern states of the US, heard in western movies, and familiar from the phrase howdy, partner. It also featured in the 50s TV show, 'Howdy Doody in which Howdy was the name of a puppet.

- Austeja
Origin:
LithuanianMeaning:
"to weave"Description:
Spelled as Austėja in its native Lithuania, this spelling may appear in English speaking countries if accents aren't recorded or left off. It derives from Lithuanian mythology in which Austėja is the goddess of bees and honey, associated with growth and protection.

Diminutive of Jelena, Croatian, Serbian, SloveneMeaning:
"light, shining torch; fir tree"Description:
A relation of Helen via the Slavic Jelena, Jelka is also a word name, used to describe a fir tree in Slovene and a Christmas tree specifically in Serbian and Croatian. As such, it may be a good choice for a winter baby.
- Betsaida
Origin:
Latin American, Spanish, HebrewMeaning:
"house of hunting"Description:
Derived from the name of two places mentioned in the New Testament, Betsaida is the Spanish and Latin American form of Bethsaida, or a variation of Bethesda. As such, its meaning is sometimes contested, with "house of hunting" being most likely, while "house of fishing" and "house of grace" are other possibilities.
- Angelino
Origin:
Spanish, Portuguese, ItalianMeaning:
"angel, messenger"Description:
An elaborate diminutive of Angelo or Ángel, this form may appeal to those who prefer long, intricate names. Pronounced as ang-jeh-LEE-no in Italian and as ang-kheh-LEE-no in Spanish, it is notably borne by Spanish footballer Angeliño (born José Ángel Esmorís Tasende). Sixteen boys were called Angelino in the US in a recent year.
- Annachiara
Origin:
Compound name, ItalianMeaning:
"grace + light, clear"Description:
Popular in Italy where it ranks in the Top 200, Annachiara is a distinctive smoosh name, blending international Anna with sparky Chiara. Together, they form the meanings "grace and light" or "clear and graceful", which could be interpreted as spiritual or secular.
Notable bearers include influencer Annachiara Zoppas and fashion editor Annachiara Biondi.
- Bishop
Origin:
English occupational nameMeaning:
"senior member of the church"Description:
Predominantly used for boys, this spiritual occupational surname combines three trends at once. Associated with senior members of the church, the game of chess, and a species of weaver bird, Bishop has been in the US charts for girls (consistently) since 2017. Recent years have only seen it given to a handful of girls each year, with 10 receiving the name in the latest count.
- Viona
Origin:
Variation of Fiona, ScottishMeaning:
"white, fair"Description:
Possibly inspired by Viola or by the way F and V sounds are pronounced similarly in Dutch and German, Viona is a variant of the Scottish Fiona. The change of spelling brings something bright and sharp to the name, and distances it from the Shrek association some may have.
- Ncuti

RwandanMeaning:
"friend"Description:
Actor Ncuti Gatwa brought this Rwandan name into the spotlight following his appearance n the show Sex Education and then again when he starred as the Fifteenth Doctor in Dr Who. Derived from the Kinyarwanda word incuti, it means "close friend" or "relative".
- Seona

Variation of Seònaid or Seonag, ScottishMeaning:
"God is gracious"Description:
A partially anglicized form of two Scottish names — Seònaid or Seonag — Seona can be pronounced as SHAW-nuh or SHO-nuh. Since Seònaid (SHAW-nat) is a Scottish variation of Janet and Seonag (SHO-nak) is a variant of Joan, they share the same roots, meaning Seona is ultimately a Scottish feminine form of John.
- Marjane
Origin:
Variation of Marjan, Persian, ArabicMeaning:
"coral"Description:
Ultimately derived from the Arabic word for coral, Marjane is an alternative form of the Persian and Kazakh name Marjan. A nature and sea inspired choice that also links to a reddish-pinkish-orangey hue, Marjane is notably borne by the illustrator and film director Marjane Satrapi, creator of the graphic novel Persepolis and its film adaptation.

- Mercan
Origin:
TurkishMeaning:
"coral"Description:
A rising choice in Turkey, Mercan is derived from the Arabic marjān meaning "coral", in turn connecting the name to nature, to the ocean, and to a reddish-pinkish-orangey hue. Appearing in the Turkish Top 100 for the first time in 2024, Mercan is a cognate of the Persian and Kazakh names Marjan, Marzahn, and Marjane.
- Antonello
Origin:

ItalianMeaning:

Variation of Luella, EnglishMeaning:
"battle famous fairy maiden; she who is famous in war"Description:
Sweet and lively Luella has been rising up the charts in recent years, and now this sleek form in the style of Noelle, Lucille, and Estelle is catching parents' attention. Considered a compound name, blending Louisa with Ella (or Elle, in this case), Luelle has stylish sounds and is far rarer than Luella. Given to 16 babies in a recent year, it has nevertheless doubled in popularity in the early 2020s.
- Atena
Origin:
Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian variation of Athena, GreekMeaning:
"from Athens"Description:
