- Steliana
Origin:
Feminine form of Stelian, Romanian, GreekMeaning:
"pillar"Description:
This Romanian name combines the appeal of popular choices such as Stella, Liliana, and Eliana, however, it is not a variation or combination of those names. It is in fact derived from the Greek name Stylianos, notably borne by a 7th century hermit who was regarded as a patron saint of children.

Urdu, Hindi, ArabicMeaning:
"flower; to shine"Description:
Strong and bright, Zohran is an Indian and Pakistani name, derived from the Arabic Zahran, meaning "flowers, blossoms" or "to shine", depending on whether you trace its roots to the floral zahr or to the vibrant zahara. Pronounced as zuh-RAN or zo-HRAN, it is notably borne by New York politician Zohran Mamdani.
- Jaia

Hindi, SanskritMeaning:
"victory"Description:

- Ceferina
Origin:
Spanish form of Zephyrine, GreekMeaning:
"west wind"Description:
Zephyrine and Zephyr are unexpected favorites among Nameberry visitors, with the latter even entering the UK charts in recent years.

- Cinnia
Origin:
Hungarian form of Zinnia, flower nameDescription:
Cinnia is one of those names we recently discovered and couldn't believe we didn't know it before now. Its pronunciation and spelling are fairly straightforward in English, and it sounds not unlike the very familiar Cynthia. But it's a form of the flower name Zinnia, named after German botanist Johann Zinn, which is an occupational surname referring to someone who worked with pewter.
- Rizzo
Origin:
ItalianMeaning:
"curly-haired"Description:
With its stylish -o ending, the Italian surname sounds enough like Rita or Rio that it may appeal as a first name. It is in fact movie-inspired choice, taken from the classic musical Grease where it's borne by the sarcastic leader of the Pink Ladies, Betty Rizzo "Rizzo".

Origin:
Invented name, ElvishMeaning:
"air"Description:
With the feel or sounds of Keeley, Gwyneth, and Delyth, Keyleth appears in the animated fantasy series, The Legend of Vox Machina, which was inspired by a Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

"coriander"Description:
Borrowed from the English word coriander (also known as cilantro), this herb-inspired choice is borne by a DC comic superhero, better known as "Starfire".

Popular cultureMeaning:
"air spirit; little sylph"Description:
The name of a green-haired half-elf character in the manga and anime, Mushoku Tensei, Sylphiette is likely inspired by the mythological air spirits known as sylphs. Part Seraphina "Sephy" and part Sylvie, with a hint of Juliet, it is an intriguing choice that was chosen for 13 girls in 2024.
- Zathena
Origin:
Modern variation of Athena, English, GreekMeaning:
"from Athens"Description:
Borne by the Greek goddess of wisdom, warfare, mathematics, and courage, Athena has become one of the most popular names from mythology in recent years, so it's no surprise that new takes and modern spins are appearing. Zathena is one such twist, blending the goddess's name with the contemporary penchant for the letter Z.
- Vedaa
Origin:
Hindi, SanskritMeaning:
"knowledge"Description:
Derived from the Sanskrit word for "knowledge", Vedaa appeared in the title of a 2024 Indian action film about a law student who leans to box so she can protect her family from caste-based violence. More familiar in its simpler Veda form, the name is associated with the Vedas, some of the oldest religious scriptures in the world.
- Lumine
Origin:
Latin, EnglishMeaning:
"lights; illuminate"Description:
A rare choice that feels perfectly familiar, Lumine combines the Lu- of Lucy, Louise, and Lucia, with the -ine ending of Josephine and Evangeline.

Joining the ranks of Chosen, Favor, Halo, and Blessing, it debuted in the US stats when it was given to five girls in 2024.
- Clever
Origin:
English word nameMeaning:
"intelligent"Description:
There are lots of ways to be clever: emotionally, academically, creatively, humorously, and so on, though many will associate the word to someone being highly skilled, quick to understand, and good in school. Used (quietly) for boys since the early 2000s, it first appeared in the US stats for girls in 2024.
- Triumph
Origin:
English word nameMeaning:
"a great victory or achievement"Description:
An aspirational and confident word name, Triumph has been given to a small handful of boys each year since 2007, but 2024 saw it make its US debut for girls, when it was given to six. It could make a cool middle name, in the same vein as Wise, Worth, Valor, and Noble.
- Asantewaa
Origin:
AkanMeaning:
"warrior; one who fights for her people"Description:
Yaa Asantewaa was a Queen mother in the Ashanti Empire (now part of Ghana) who led the Ahsanti war against the British Empire and colonialism in 1900. The name is therefore predominantly used in Ghana, where it is symbolic of fighting for your people and of female strength.
- Amon-ra
Origin:
EgyptianMeaning:
"the invisible, hidden one + sun; day"Description:
An ancient and mythological compound name, Amon-Ra was once worshipped by the Ancient Egyptians as the supreme solar deity. Originally praised as two gods, Amon (the god of air, creativity and fertility) was fused with Ra (the sun god) during the Middle Kingdom period.
- Methuselah
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"his death shall send; man of the javelin"Description:
The name of a Biblical patriarch who lived to be 969 years old, Methuselah is (understandably, perhaps) a rare choice, though it has seen some usage in Kenya, Nigeria, and the Philippines. The "meth" beginning may well put many parents off, though his spiritual significance as the grandfather of Noah may make others reconsider.
- Purdy
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"pretty"Description:
An old-fashioned feeling nickname, based on a colloquial pronunciation of the word "pretty", Purdy (also spelled Purdie and Purdey) could be used as a short form of Perdita, as a nickname for Persephone, Penelope, Prudence, or Pearl, and as a more general nickname for girls, in the same way that Birdie or Scout might be used.
