all girl names i love
- Katherine
Origin:
GreekMeaning:
"pure"Description:
Katherine is one of the oldest, most diverse, and all-around best names: it's powerful, feminine, royal, saintly, classic, popular, and adaptable. Long one of the top girls' names starting with K, Katherine has now been unseated on the popularity list by upstarts Kennedy and Kinsley, but a dip in popularity only adds to its charm.
- Amy
Origin:
FrenchMeaning:
"beloved"Description:
Amy is the English variation of the Old French name Amée—Aimée in modern French. Amée was a translation of the Latin name Amata, which derived from amatus, meaning "beloved." Other spelling variations include Amie and Ami.
- Alexandra
Origin:
Greek, feminine form of AlexanderMeaning:
"defending men"Description:
Alexandra fell out of the Top 100 for the first time since 1983 in 2015 but is still a popular choice. Strong, tasteful, and elegant, Alexandra remains a chic modern classic with a solid historic pedigree.
- Wendy
Origin:
English, Celtic, WelshMeaning:
"friend or white"Description:
It is popularly claimed that the name Wendy was invented by Sir James Barrie in 1904 for the big sister character in his play Peter Pan, which was followed by the classic novel in 1911. Barrie supposedly took it from the nickname "fwendy-wendy", that he was called by a young girl acquaintance.
- Aimee
Origin:
Variation of Amy, FrenchMeaning:
"beloved"Description:
Amy was a 1970s favorite, and French spelling Aimee peaked in the same decade. Today, about 1500 baby girls are still named Amy every year in the US, versus about 150 named Aimee.
- Mandy
Origin:
Diminutive of AmandaDescription:
Nickname left over from the last generation.
- Sera
Origin:
Hebrew, variation of SarahMeaning:
"princess"Description:
Sera is a truly international variation heard in Hebrew-speaking, Spanish and Italian cultures. Sera can also spelled Serah. Sera might also be a short form of Seraphina.
- Onna
Description:
Onna is a feminine name with Japanese origins, meaning 'woman' or 'lady.' It has been used as a given name in both Japanese culture and internationally. In Western contexts, Onna may be appreciated for its simplicity and melodic quality. The name remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, giving it a distinctive appeal for parents seeking something unique. While not ranking among popular names in the United States or Europe, Onna has a timeless quality that crosses cultural boundaries. Its brevity and easy pronunciation make it accessible across different languages and cultures.
