    • Elena

      • Meaning:

        "bright, shining light"

      • Description:

        Elena is at its most popular point ever in the US, thanks to its cross-cultural appeal and the overall popularity of El- names. It's more international than Ellen or Eleanor, but still accessible.
    • Ivanka

      • Origin:

        Variation of Ivana

      • Meaning:

        "God is gracious"

      • Description:

        High-profile First Daughter Trump bears a nickname for her mother's name, Ivana. But though quite common in Slavic countries, and despite its international appeal, Ivanka is likely to remain a Singe-Celebrity name in the US — the Oprah of the political world — for the foreseeable future. Ivanka's larger impact on names may be inspiring parents to name their daughters after their moms.
    • Jordanka

      • Description:

        Jordanka is a feminine name primarily found in Slavic countries, particularly Bulgaria and Macedonia. It's the feminine form of Jordan, which derives from the Hebrew name Yarden, referring to the Jordan River. The name carries religious significance in Christian traditions, as the Jordan River is where Jesus was baptized. The feminine suffix '-ka' is characteristic of Slavic naming patterns. Jordanka has a melodious quality with its rhythmic syllables and distinctive ending. While common in its countries of origin, it remains relatively unusual in Western nations, giving it an exotic appeal. The name blends strength and femininity, with cultural richness and biblical connections. For families with Slavic heritage or those seeking a unique international name with religious undertones, Jordanka offers a distinctive choice.
