  8. Lexa

    • Description:

      Lexa is a feminine name with multiple origin possibilities. Most commonly, it's considered a shortened form of Alexandra, which derives from Greek elements meaning 'defender of mankind.' It also functions as an independent diminutive of Alexis or Alexa. In Slavic languages, particularly Czech and Slovak, Lexa can be a nickname for names containing the Alex- element. The name gained modest recognition following the introduction of the character Commander Lexa in the television series 'The 100' (2014-2016). With its crisp, modern sound combining the popular 'Lex' sound with a feminine ending, Lexa appeals to parents seeking short, strong feminine names that balance contemporary style with classical roots.

  9. Jarod

    • Description:

      Jarod is a masculine name of Hebrew origin, considered a variation of the biblical name Jared, meaning 'descent' or 'he who descended.' This modern spelling gained significant popularity in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s, partly due to the television series 'The Pretender,' which featured a protagonist named Jarod. The name has a strong, contemporary sound while maintaining traditional roots. Jarod projects confidence and intelligence, with a slightly unconventional edge compared to more common biblical names. Though its peak popularity has passed, it remains a recognizable name that carries a balance of uniqueness and familiarity.
  10. Aleks

    • Description:

      Aleks is a masculine name representing a streamlined, modernized spelling of Alexander, which derives from Greek elements meaning 'defender of the people.' This simplified variant is particularly common in Eastern European countries, including Poland, Slovenia, and other Slavic regions, though it's growing in popularity worldwide as parents seek shorter forms of traditional names. Aleks maintains the strength and historical gravitas of Alexander while offering a more contemporary, international feel. The name's brevity makes it practical and distinctive in Western contexts while still honoring its classical roots. Notable bearers can be found in sports, arts, and literature throughout Eastern Europe, contributing to its cross-cultural appeal.
  11. Alie

    • Description:

      Alie is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It can be a variant of Allie (short for Allison, Alice, or Alexandra), or derive from names like Aaliyah or Aliya in Arabic traditions, where it means 'exalted' or 'rising.' This short, sweet name offers versatility across cultures and has maintained modest usage throughout the years. Alie appeals to parents seeking a simple yet distinctive name that works well internationally. Its brevity makes it straightforward to spell and pronounce, while its various cultural connections give it depth of meaning beyond its compact appearance.
