  3. Elea

    • Description:

      Elea is a delicate feminine name with multiple origin possibilities. It may be derived from the Greek name Eleos, meaning "compassion," or could be a variation of Eliana, meaning "my God has answered." Some consider it a shortened form of Eleanor, which has Germanic origins meaning "bright, shining one." With its soft sound and brevity, Elea has an ethereal, graceful quality. The name remains relatively uncommon, giving it a distinctive appeal for parents seeking something unique yet accessible. Its popularity has seen slight increases in European countries, particularly France and Italy, though it remains a rare choice in English-speaking nations, making it perfect for parents wanting an uncommon yet melodious name.

        "hedged area"

      • Description:

        One of those simple, straightforward English surnames -- and with a presidential pedigree -- that's easy to translate into a first. It was recently chosen by both Kevin Costner and Jessica Alba for their sons, which can likely be credited for its spike in popularity in the past few years. Surname names and nature names like Hayes, which qualifies on both counts, along with occupational names all make up the new generation of stylish English names for boys that go far beyond Harry and Edward.
