    • Meaning:

    • Description:

      Vanina is a name that is, at first glance, miles apart from its origin. But once you say it aloud and look for it, you can see the direct line from Evangelina to Vanina. Vanina could also be a good alternative for people who like the sound of Vanille or Vanilla, but can't bring themselves to use a flavor as a name.
  7. Erinna

      Greek
    • Meaning:

      "spring or hero"

  8. Colma
    • Description:

      Colma is an uncommon feminine name with several possible origins. It may derive from the Irish name 'Colm' (meaning 'dove') with a feminine ending, or could be connected to Colma, a city in California. In some contexts, it might relate to Saint Colman, whose name comes from 'columba,' the Latin word for 'dove.' The name has a gentle, flowing quality with its two syllables and soft ending. As a rare name, Colma offers distinctiveness while still being relatively straightforward to pronounce. The potential connection to 'dove' gives it peaceful, gentle associations. While not appearing on most popularity charts, the name's simplicity and melodious sound make it accessible despite its uncommonness. Colma strikes a balance between uniqueness and approachability, making it an interesting but not overwhelming choice.

  9. Verina
    • Origin:

      Latin
    • Meaning:

      "true"
    • Description:

      More often spelled VERENA, this name is attached to a third century Swiss saint. But the "virtue" name VERITY, is more appealing and comes more directly to the point.
  10. Talley
    • Description:

      Talley is primarily used as a feminine name, though it began as an English and Irish surname derived from the Anglo-Norman French 'taillis,' meaning 'coppice' (a small growth of trees). As a given name, Talley emerged through the surname-as-first-name trend and has a modern, distinctive quality. It carries a natural, outdoorsy connotation through its etymological connection to woodlands. The name has a contemporary sound with its two syllables and cheerful ending, making it both memorable and easy to pronounce. While never reaching widespread popularity, Talley maintains a steady, under-the-radar presence, appealing to parents seeking something uncommon yet accessible. Its versatility allows it to suit various personalities, from spirited and adventurous to thoughtful and creative.

  11. Eliette
    • Description:

      Eliette is a delicate feminine name of French origin, functioning as a diminutive form of names like Elie (the French version of Elijah) or Elizabeth. The name carries the meaning 'the Lord is my God' through its connection to these Hebrew-origin names. With its distinctly French flair, Eliette combines elegance with a gentle, sophisticated sound. Though relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, it has maintained modest usage in France and French-speaking regions. The name offers a refined alternative to more common El- names, appealing to parents seeking something melodic with European charm. Eliette's soft syllables and graceful ending create a name that sounds both classic and somewhat unexpected, conveying femininity with subtle strength.
  12. Ezri
    • Origin:

      Variation of Ezra, Hebrew
    • Meaning:

      "help"
    • Description:

      Ezri is one of the cool new unisex names starting with E, except as a Biblical name, it's not so new. Used for both genders in Israel, in the US it's currently running five to one in favor of girls, surprisingly. Its deviation from the better known and more traditional Ezra makes it feel like one of the more truly gender neutral names.
  13. Secora
    • Description:

      Secora is a feminine name of uncertain origin, possibly a variant of Secorra or a creative modern invention. It has a melodious quality with its flowing syllables. Some theories suggest it may be related to the Spanish word "socorro" meaning "help" or "relief," though this connection isn't definitively established. The name has a contemporary feel with classical undertones, making it appeal to parents seeking something unique yet accessible. While rare in mainstream naming statistics, Secora has seen occasional usage in the United States since the late 20th century. Its distinctive sound and spelling give it a memorable quality while still being relatively straightforward to pronounce and spell.

      Latin, German

    • Description:

      Derived from the Latin Crescentius and Crescens, Crescentia is a bold, strong but elaborate name borne by a 4th century saint and also the heroine of a 12th century German romance. Also spelled Kreszentia, it feels connected to the moon, due to its similarity to the word crescent.
  16. Akilah
    • Origin:

      Arabic
    • Meaning:

      "intelligent, logical"
    • Description:

      The meaning of intelligent elevates this A-starting name for girls above other similar possibilities.
  17. Ravenne
    • Description:

      Ravenne is a feminine name with French origins, derived from the ancient Italian city of Ravenna. The name carries an air of elegance and mystery, suggesting someone refined and sophisticated. While not common in English-speaking countries, Ravenne has occasionally appeared as a subtle variation of Raven or an elaboration of the French word 'ravenne.' The name evokes images of the historical Byzantine mosaics and architecture for which the city of Ravenna is famous. Ravenne remains a distinctive choice for parents seeking something unusual with artistic and historical connections. Its rarity gives it a certain exclusivity, making it appealing to those who prefer names that stand out while maintaining a classical elegance.
  18. Oralis
    • Description:

      Oralis is a feminine name with Latin and Spanish roots. While relatively uncommon, this melodic name may be related to Latin words like 'oralis' (meaning 'relating to the mouth or speech') or might be a variation of Aurelia (meaning 'golden'). In some Hispanic communities, particularly in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, Oralis appears as a distinctive given name. The name has never achieved widespread popularity, making it a unique choice that stands out. Its rarity gives it an exotic quality while still being relatively easy to pronounce in multiple languages. Oralis carries a musical quality with its flowing syllables and distinctive ending.
  19. Karis
    • Origin:

      English variation of Carys, Welsh
    • Meaning:

      "love"
    • Description:

      This much less popular variation draws more from Karin.
  20. Dalla
    • Description:

      Dalla is a feminine name with Norse and Germanic roots. In Old Norse, it may be related to 'dal' meaning 'valley,' suggesting someone who dwells in or comes from a valley. The name also appears in Norse mythology. Dalla has a melodic quality with its flowing sounds and balanced syllables. While uncommon in modern usage, it offers an intriguing alternative to more popular names like Della or Dalia. The name carries a subtle natural connection through its valley association, evoking images of lush landscapes. Dalla's rarity makes it appealing to parents seeking a name with ancient roots but a fresh feel for contemporary use.
