  1. Aveline

    • Origin:

      French from German

    • Meaning:

      "desired; or island, water"

    • Description:

      Aveline is a name that's long been an obscure cousin of more widely-used choices, but may come into its own riding the tail of the megapopular Ava, which may derive from the same root.
  2. Ayla

    • Origin:

      Hebrew, or Turkish

    • Meaning:

      "oak tree, or halo, moonlight"

    • Description:

      Bright, fresh, and sunny, Ayla is a fashionable and exciting international choice for girls. Reminiscent of other trending names such as Layla, Isla, and Ava, Ayla has recently found its place in the Top 100.
  3. Belle

    • Origin:

      Short form of Isabelle or French

    • Meaning:

      "beautiful"

    • Description:

      Belle has nothing but positive associations, from "belle of the ball" to "Southern belle" to the heroine of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. As if this weren't enough good things, Belle is also one of the most familiar and usable names that mean beautiful. Though it has been overshadowed by the Twilight-influenced Bella and longer forms like Isabella and Annabella, Belle has its own Southern charm and would make a pretty choice as a first or middle name.
  4. Emalyn

    • Description:

      Emalyn is a feminine name that represents a modern variation of the classic Emily, ultimately derived from the Roman clan name Aemilius, meaning 'rival' or 'emulating.' This contemporary spelling combines elements of Emma, Emily, and the popular '-lyn' suffix that has been trendy in recent decades. While maintaining connections to its traditional roots, Emalyn offers a fresh alternative with a slightly different sound and appearance. The name has gained modest popularity in the United States since the early 2000s, appealing to parents who appreciate classic names but desire something less common. Emalyn carries a gentle, melodic quality that feels both familiar and distinctive.

      Spanish and Portuguese

    • Meaning:

In the 1831 Victor Hugo novel Notre-Dame de Paris, also known as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, the heroine was born Agnes, but called La Esmeralda in reference to the jewel she wears around her neck. The name Esmeralda got increased visibility via the Disney version of the story.
