Esmerée

A poetic choice that may appeal to those who like Esmé but also the likes of Guinevere, Isolde, and Eluned, Esmerée is the name of a beautiful princess of Wales in Arthurian legend. The character appears in the French poem Le Bel Inconnu written by Renaut de Bâgé in the 12th-century.

Also written as Esmeree, Esmerée likely comes from the Old French esmer, meaning "to love; respect", though some sources do suggest it might come from Esmeraude, meaning "emerald".

Pronounced ez-mer-AY.
