  1. Amaris

    • Origin:

      Variation of Amara or Amariah

    • Description:

      Amaris sounds like "amorous," which is a loving name for a child, but doesn't really have a clear derivation or meaning of its own. The popular Amara is one of the most international names on the charts, with derivations and meanings in cultures that truly span the globe. And Amariah is an ancient Hebrew name. Still, Amaris is unusual and pretty, and that may be enough.

      German

    • Meaning:

      "work"

  4. Audie

    • Description:

      Audie is a feminine name with diverse origins, functioning as both a diminutive of Audrey and a name in its own right. Derived from Anglo-Saxon roots, it carries meanings associated with 'noble strength' or 'noble counselor.' The name gained some recognition in America through World War II hero Audie Murphy, though it's traditionally more common for females. With its short, sweet sound and vintage charm, Audie fits well with the trend toward reviving early 20th century names. It provides a less common alternative to popular 'Au-' names like Audrey and Autumn. While never reaching high popularity rankings, Audie has maintained continuous usage throughout the decades. Its simplicity and gentle sound make it appealing to parents seeking a name that's both distinctive and accessible.

      Greek

      "soft breeze"

      Aura is a New Age-y word turned name turned contemporary slang for karm. In Greek and Roman mythology, Aura was the Titan of the breeze and the fresh, cool air of early morning.

        English

    • Cherrie

      • Description:

        Cherrie is a feminine name that represents a variant spelling of Cherry, which began as a nickname derived from the French 'chérie,' meaning 'beloved' or 'darling.' As a given name, it gained modest popularity during the mid-20th century, often inspired by the sweet fruit name. This particular spelling with 'ie' instead of 'y' gives the name a slightly more elaborate, feminine appearance. Cherrie has a cheerful, vintage quality that evokes warmth and sweetness. While never among the most common names, it enjoyed brief periods of usage particularly in the 1950s and 1960s. The name carries associations with brightness, happiness, and the vibrant red color of cherries, giving it a playful, positive character.

    • Coraal

      • Description:

        Coraal is an unusual feminine name that may be a variant spelling of Coral, which refers to the vibrant marine organisms and their colorful skeletal deposits. This distinctive spelling adds an exotic touch to the nature-inspired name. Coraal evokes images of tropical waters, underwater beauty, and the rich reddish-pink color associated with coral reefs. As a given name, it's extremely rare, making it an option for parents seeking something truly unique. The name carries connotations of natural beauty, oceanic connections, and delicate strength, as coral is both beautiful and resilient. While traditional Coral has been used as a name since the Victorian era's love of nature names, the Coraal spelling represents a modern, creative approach to this organic inspiration.
