- Nance
Description:
Nance is a feminine name with roots as both a medieval diminutive of Ann/Anne and as an English surname. The name Anne derives from Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor.' As a given name, Nance was more common in medieval and early modern periods, particularly in Cornwall, England, where it also developed as a surname. The name experienced modest popularity in the early 20th century in America but has since become quite rare as a first name. Nance carries a vintage, simple charm while maintaining connections to the more traditional Ann/Anne family of names. It's sometimes seen as a nickname for Nancy, which itself originated as a diminutive of Ann. Today, Nance might appeal to parents seeking a short, distinctive name with historical roots and a connection to English heritage.
- Enav
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"grape"Description:
Enav hits all the style notes of modern names, as a short, gender-neutral name with a strong V. The cute fruit meaning adds to its charms.
- Mansikka
Origin:
FinnishMeaning:
"strawberry"Description:
Sweet yet spiky in sound, Mansikka is the Finnish word for strawberry, making this a summery, foodie choice. While the word Strawberry has only appeared in the US stats a handful of times over the years, Mansikka was given to 39 girls in Finland in a recent year.
- Mefus
Origin:
WelshMeaning:
"strawberries"Description:
Similar enough to Mavis in sound that it might just work, Mefus is a sweet and summery choice taken directly from the Welsh word for "strawberries". The pronunciation, MEH-vis is likely to be unintuitive outside of Wales, though within Wales, it might have the same energy as choosing Apple or Plum. One for the middle spot, perhaps.
- Kirsikka
Origin:
FinnishMeaning:
"cherry"Description:
As fruit names go, Cherry is one of the more usable options in English, and the same can be said for Kirsikka, its Finnish counterpart. Sweet and vibrant, Kirsikka was given to more than 1200 girls in Finland in a recent year, while its charming diminutive, Kirsi ranked in the Top 100.
