Feminizations of Male Names
- Urbana
Origin:
Latin, feminine form of UrbanMeaning:
"of the city"Description:
If you live in the city, you might call your urban baby Urbana; if you live in the suburbs--don't even think of Surbana.
- Samuela
Origin:
Feminine variation of SamuelDescription:
Awkward, dated feminization of Samuel we can't imagine anyone choosing over Samantha.
- Charla
Origin:
Variation of Charlotte, FrenchMeaning:
"free man"Description:
Charlotte is a Top 10 name now and Charlie is hugely popular for both girls and boys, along with Charlee, Charli, Charleigh, and Charley for girls. So why does Charla have none of this fashion power? Only five baby girls were named Charla in the US last year.
- Jacobine
Origin:
Feminine variation of Jacob, HebrewMeaning:
"supplanter"Description:
Jacobine is a rare -- no baby girls received the name in the US last year -- feminine form of the popular Jacob. But Jacobine has a quirky appeal. The Jacobins were a radical political club formed during the French revolution as well as an order of Dominican friars.
- Yonit
Origin:
Feminine variation of Yonah, HebrewMeaning:
"dove"Description:
A feminization of Yonah, the Hebrew form of Jonah.
- Xeveria
Origin:
Variation of Xaviera or Xavier, BasqueMeaning:
"new house"Description:
The usual female form of Xavier, Xaviera, is given to only a handful of baby girls in the US each year, and the Xeveria variation is even rarer, not recorded at all.
