NAMES FROM THE TV SHOW THE 100

  1. Raven

    • Origin:

      Word and animal name

    • Description:

      Bird name Raven, once a symbol of pride for both African-American and Wiccan parents, is finding new life as a superhero name. Raven Darkholme is the real name of Mystique, heroine of the X-Men films played by Jennifer Lawrence. And there is another Raven superheroine in Teen Titans. Some parents may still choose Raven to signal black pride or mystical powers or maybe even Edgar Allan Poe fandom, but we are guessing most inspiration is coming from the comics.
  2. Echo

    • Origin:

      Greek mythology name

    • Meaning:

      "echo or sound"

    • Description:

      Although this is traditionally seen as a female name, via the classical mythological nymph who pined away for Narcissus until all that remained of her was a disembodied voice — it can also be used for boys. Remember that old song, 'Little sir echo, how do you do?'
  3. Roma

    • Origin:

      Italian place-name

    • Description:

      Never as popular as Florence; today's parents might prefer Venezia, Verona, or Romy. It is also a Hindu name meaning "one with shiny hair" and is another name for the goddess Lakshmi.

  4. Caris

    • Origin:

      Greek or variation of Carys, Welsh

    • Meaning:

      "grace, kindness; love"

    • Description:

      Caris is either a variation of the Carys, a modern Welsh name meaning "love", or a spin on the Greek Charis, meaning "grace, kindness", and used to describe the Three Graces collectively. It briefly made the England and Wales Top 1000 in the late 90s.
  5. Keenan

    • Origin:

      Irish

    • Meaning:

      "ancient"

    • Description:

      This name of three ancient saints, one Wayans brother, and an NFL wide receiver makes an energetic choice.
  6. Indra

    • Origin:

      Sanskrit, Latvian

    • Meaning:

      "possessing drops of rain; reed, water witch; estate ruler"

    • Description:

      In Hindu tradition, Indra is the warrior god of sky and rain, whose name is often used as element of other names, such as Jaswinder or Rajendra. Its use as a feminine name may come from the Western world hearing it as feminine (thanks to Alexandra, Indira, or similar), or simply as a shortening of Indrani (meaning "wife of Indra").
  7. 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.
  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. Rivo

    • Origin:

      Estonian

    • Description:

      A variant of Estonian Riivo, of uncertain meaning, that fits right in with cool water names like River and Rio.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
