List of D9 Girl names x x x x x x x x x x x
- Ainsley
Origin:
ScottishMeaning:
"one's own meadow"Description:
While theoretically unisex, this surname name has been edging up the girls’ names list, perhaps originally as an Ashley substitute. One quality in Ainsley's favor: It's remained steadily popular -- but not TOO popular -- for more than 20 years now, ranking consistently around Number 400. That makes it stylish and familiar without showing up everywhere.
- Aletris
Origin:
Flower name, from GreekMeaning:
"corn grinder"Description:
The bell-shaped flower Aletris is also known as Colic Root, Blazing Star, Unicorn Root, and Stargrass. Its roots have medicinal properties and are used to aid digestive and muscle problems. Its name derives from Greek aletris — an enslaved woman who ground corn — because of the mealy texture of the flowers.
- Anona
Origin:
LatinMeaning:
"corn, grain"Description:
Name of the Roman goddess of harvest and grain, appropriate for a fall baby. And a palindrome too!
- Ardith
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"flowering field"Description:
Ethereal combination of Arden and Edith, with a sweet naturey meaning.
- Bentley
Origin:
English SurnameMeaning:
"meadow with coarse grass"Description:
We can't account for the popularity of this name, for either a boy or a girl, given the first syllable, the tacky connotations with a luxury car, and the range of other options which are more harmonious to the ear. Nonetheless, nearly 200 girls were names Bentley in the US in 2015.
- Blair
Origin:
ScottishMeaning:
"dweller on the plain"Description:
In the USA, Blair is gaining momentum, rising quickly for the last 10 years and likely to continue to climb. In England and Wales, where Blair has political connotations – calling to mind former prime minister Tony Blair – it is much less common, although it is in use for boys in its native Scotland.
- Bradley
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"broad clearing"Description:
Fading boys' name making fresh start for girls, aided by -ley ending.
- Bran
Description:
As a feminine name, Bran is an uncommon choice with multiple potential origins. It may be a feminine adaptation of the masculine Bran, which has Celtic roots meaning 'raven' or 'crow,' most famously associated with the legendary Irish king Bran the Blessed. Alternatively, it could function as a shortened form of names like Branna or Breanna. In some Slavic languages, 'bran' relates to 'protection' or 'defense.' The name's simplicity gives it an understated, modern appeal despite its ancient origins. Though predominantly used for males historically, Bran's concise, strong sound works well with contemporary gender-neutral naming trends. Its rarity as a feminine name makes it a distinctive choice with cross-cultural resonance.
- Branwen
Origin:
CelticMeaning:
"blessed raven"Description:
This is an attractive Celtic mythological name, popular in Wales and a cousin of the better known Bronwyn. In Welsh mythology, Branwen was turned into a bird.
- Ceres
Origin:
RomanMeaning:
"nourishment"Description:
Little known name of the goddess of the harvest — her name literally means nourishment, and is the origin of the word cereal. A possibility for the parent seeking something original, but with the aura of Roman myth. Her Greek counterpart is Demeter.
- Eartha
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"earth"Description:
Used by the Puritans but off the US charts completely since the mid-1990s, Eartha is best known today as the name of American singer Eartha Kitt, as well as of the philanthropist and humanitarian Eartha M. M. White.
- Hadley
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"heather field"Description:
Hadley, most famous as the name of Ernest Hemingway's first wife, is more sophisticated, professional, and modern than cousins Harley, Haley, or Hayden. The hit book The Paris Wife, a novel by Paula McLain told from the point of view of Hadley Hemingway (born Elizabeth Hadley Richardson), has helped popularize the name, which also appears on the vampire show True Blood. Hadley could become this generation's Hailey. Adley, a mashup of Hadley and Addie, has also appeared on the scene.
- Harley
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"the long field"Description:
Once a macho biker name, Harley is now showing its softer side. In the UK, Harley is predominantly masculine, but it's currently more popular for girls than boys in the US.
- Harvest
Origin:
English word nameDescription:
Harvest has been occasionally used as a name since the eighteenth century, originally as evenly unisex, but in the US data for last year was starting to lean more female, given to 29 girls and 11 boys. Harvest can be seen as pleasantly archaic, rich and ripe, fitting in with popular baby names like Harper and Harry, and is also a fresh take on names like Autumn and August and one of the best names for autumn babies.
- Hayley
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"hay field"Description:
It all started in 1946, when Hayley Mills was given her mother's maiden name. Now that spelling is in third place, after Hailey and Haley, with all three adding up to one of the most popular names in the country. Hayley is the most used spelling in Australia.
- Hialeah
Origin:
Native American, SeminoleMeaning:
"pretty prairie"Description:
Pleasant sound, but too tied to the racetrack.
- Lee
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"pasture, meadow"Description:
The original brief, breezy name is somewhat out of favor now even as a middle name. The Leigh spelling has more substance and is more identifiable as female.
- Leland
Description:
Leland is traditionally a masculine name that has crossed over to occasional feminine usage. With Old English origins, it means 'meadow land' or 'fallow ground.' The name combines 'lea' (meadow) with 'land,' creating a nature-inspired moniker with a gentle, pastoral feeling. As a female name, Leland emerged as part of the trend toward gender-neutral naming in the late 20th century. It offers a distinctive alternative to popular 'L' names like Leah or Lily. Though still predominantly used for boys, Leland for girls provides a strong yet feminine option with a connection to the natural world. The name carries a sophisticated, preppy quality with subtle outdoor associations.
- Maize
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"corn"Description:
One of the more unusual nature names, Maize is given to a dozen or so boys and girls each year and is almost completely unisex in terms of usage. It could also be short for Maisie/Maizie. Disclaimer: potential for "corny" jokes.
- Meadow
Origin:
Nature nameDescription:
Meadow's upward popularity trajectory certainly suggests that the name has transcended its connection to The Sopranos.. In the US, more than 750 baby girls were named Meadow last year, a number we expect to keep rising.
