In Latvian, the name is thought to derive from words meaning 'breath' or 'breeze,' conveying delicacy and vitality. In Japanese contexts, it can mean 'love Asia' depending on the kanji used. The name is appreciated for its brevity and melodious quality, with the flowing 'ai' sound followed by the soft 'ja.'

- Alise
Origin:
Latvian or English variation of AliceDescription:
About 60 girls were named Alise in the US last year, making it an uncommon but not truly rare name. While it's pretty and intriguing as a spin on the very popular Alice, it's pronounced more like Elise or -- in Latvian -- Elisa, and so may prove more confusing than it's worth. If you want to name your daughter Alice, name her Alice, and if you want to name her Elise, name her Elise. Choosing Alise in many ways gives you the worst of all worlds.
- Arta
Description:
Arta is a feminine name with multiple cultural origins. In Albanian, it carries the beautiful meaning of 'golden' or 'precious,' while in Persian contexts, it relates to 'righteousness' or 'truth.' The name also appears in Latvian naming traditions. Arta possesses a striking simplicity with just two syllables and four letters, yet feels substantial and distinctive. Though relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, the name enjoys moderate usage in Albania, Latvia, and parts of the Middle East. Arta's cross-cultural nature gives it versatility while its brevity makes it accessible internationally. The name's ancient roots and meaningful associations with positive qualities make it a subtly powerful choice.
- Astrida
Description:
Astrida is a feminine name with roots in Latin and Norse traditions. It is primarily derived from the Latin word 'astra' meaning 'stars,' giving it celestial associations. The name can also be considered a variant of Astrid, a Scandinavian name meaning 'divinely beautiful' or 'god's strength,' combining the Old Norse elements 'áss' (god) and 'fríðr' (beautiful, beloved). Astrida maintains the strength of Astrid while adding a softer, more melodic ending. Though relatively uncommon, it appeals to parents drawn to names with celestial connections and Nordic heritage. The name carries connotations of beauty, cosmic wonder, and divine strength, making it both delicate and powerful. Astrida remains a distinctive choice that resonates with those seeking names with both heavenly and historical significance.
