    • Meaning:

      "stable"

    • Description:

      Eustace was originally popularized by St. Eustace, who was born a Norman nobleman and is said to have been converted to Christianity by seeing a crucifix between the antlers of the deer he was hunting. It was introduced to England by the Normans, and can be found in medieval legend. In literature the name appears in the person of Eustace Clarence Scrubb in C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia.
      The image of Eustace today is as sedate and stuffy as the monocled Eustace Tilly character on The New Yorker magazine covers. Its diminutive Stacy became a unisex hit.

      Welsh form of Alice, German

    • Meaning:

      "noble"

    • Description:

      Popular in Wales, familiar across the UK, and ultimately derived from the Germanic Adalheidis, this isn't a creative respelling of a classic, but the Welsh variant of it.
  19. Lysa

    • Description:

      Lysa is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may function as a diminutive of Elisabeth or Melissa, a variant spelling of Lisa, or derive from names in various European languages. In some Slavic contexts, it can relate to words meaning 'fox' or 'forest.' This short, crisp name has a light, modern feel despite having historical precedents. Lysa gained some limited use in the late 20th century but remains relatively uncommon. The distinctive 'y' spelling gives it a contemporary edge compared to the more traditional Lisa. The name has cross-cultural versatility, working well in many language contexts. Its brevity makes it practical while the less common spelling helps it stand out. Lysa offers a blend of familiarity and uniqueness that many parents seek.

      Variation of Jane

      Unplain (if dated) Jane.
