Some nice Baltic girl names for you, not heard of in the United States at all.

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.
Alise
- Origin:
  Latvian or English variation of Alice
- Description:
  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.

Brigita
- Description:
  Brigita is a feminine name of Celtic origin, representing a variant spelling of Brigid (or Brighid), the name of an ancient Irish goddess associated with poetry, healing, and smithcraft. This particular spelling is most common in Latvia, Lithuania, and other Baltic countries, as well as parts of Eastern Europe. The original name derives from the Celtic word 'brigh' meaning 'strength' or 'virtue.' While not widely used in English-speaking countries, Brigita has maintained steady popularity in its regions of origin. The name carries connections to Saint Brigid of Kildare, one of Ireland's patron saints, giving it religious significance alongside its pagan roots. With its strong consonants and melodic quality, Brigita offers a distinctive alternative to the more common Bridget or Brigitte.
Dagnija
Elita

Agrita
Aiga
Aija
- Description:
  Aija is a feminine name found in several cultures, particularly in Latvia where it's quite popular. 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.' Despite its simplicity, Aija carries a distinctive character that sets it apart from more common names. Its international presence yet relative rarity in English-speaking countries makes it appealing to parents seeking a name that's both accessible in pronunciation and uniquely memorable.
