Artemis, one of the key figures of the female Greek pantheon, is the ancient virgin goddess of the hunt, wilderness, animals, childbirth, and a protector of young girls, later associated with the moon.

The Scottish spelling of Isabel has a definite character of her own, the 'o' giving her an extra infusion of strength but also an element of confusion. How do you pronounce that? Answer: Exactly like Isabel or Isabelle.

The Russian version of Katherine is usually Ekaterina, but this form is used throughout Eastern Europe and may be more friendly to the American ear.

Katerina and its near-identical twin Katarina have a pleasingly lilting European sound, though for some Americans they may be uncomfortably close to Katrina, which will be linked for a long time to the hurricane that devastated New Orleans.

Katherine is one of the oldest, most diverse, and all-around best names: it's powerful, feminine, royal, saintly, classic, popular, and adaptable. Long one of the top girls' names starting with K, Katherine has now been unseated on the popularity list by upstarts Kennedy and Kinsley, but a dip in popularity only adds to its charm.

Laurena is a feminine name that likely developed as a variation of Lauren or Laura, both ultimately derived from the Latin 'laurus' meaning 'laurel tree' or 'sweet bay tree,' which symbolized victory and honor in ancient Rome. The addition of the '-ena' suffix gives the name a softer, more melodic quality. Laurena combines classical roots with a gentle, flowing sound. While not among the most common names, it offers an elegant alternative to the more widely used Laura or Lauren. The name has been used sparingly throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, particularly in Latin American countries and Southern European regions. Laurena carries a timeless femininity that feels both familiar and distinctive.

A hot starbaby name – chosen by Kelly Ripa, Chris Rock, Lisa Bonet, Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen, Carnie Wilson, and Annie Lennox, and used as the nickname of Madonna's Lourdes – Lola manages to feel fun and sassy without going over the top.

Phillipa is the feminine form of Philip, derived from Greek roots meaning "lover of horses." This elegant name has historical usage throughout Europe, with particular popularity in Britain and Commonwealth countries. While the more common spelling is typically "Philippa," the simplified "Phillipa" variant maintains the name's classic appeal while being somewhat more accessible. The name carries associations with nobility and education, as it has been borne by various notable women throughout history. Phillipa offers several appealing nickname options, including Pippa, Pip, and Lipa. Though never reaching top-tier popularity, the name has maintained consistent usage over centuries, giving it a timeless quality. Parents might choose Phillipa for its blend of traditional substance and refined femininity.

Susannah is by far the most stylish form of the classic name now that Susan and Suzanne have retired. Susannah has biblical and musical pedigrees, is impervious to trends, and has an irresistible, flowing rhythm. It can be spelled just as properly with or without the final 'h.'

Zephyrus was the Greek god of the west wind, and all names associated with him have a pleasantly gentle, breezy feel. With its cool Z initial and similarity in sound to Stephie and Serafina, Zephyr has been rising up the US charts in recent years as a unisex name.
