      This spelling of the classic name is found in France, Germany, Greece, and other cultures, and is worn by such notables as Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Elisabeth Shue, Elisabeth Moss, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The name's pronunciation is usually just like the Z version, but some parents choose this because they want to discourage the Liz or Lizzie short forms and so pronounce it as if it has Lisa in the middle.

      American invented name
    • Meaning:

      "god is gracious + butterfly"

      English word name
    • Description:

      There's definitely a cold front of names for winter babies moving in, with Summer, Spring and Autumn giving way to Winter--plus North, January, Frost--and Snow. This name feels brisk, fresh, pure, evocative -- and magical. A haunting middle name choice.
  8. Edeline
    • Description:

      Edeline is a feminine name of Germanic origin, derived from the elements 'adal' meaning 'noble' or 'nobility' and 'lin' meaning 'little' or serving as a diminutive suffix. This elegant name can be considered a variant of Adeline or a feminine form of Edel. With its soft sounds and graceful ending, Edeline carries an air of vintage refinement while remaining relatively uncommon, making it appealing to parents seeking a distinctive yet traditional-sounding choice. The name experienced limited popularity in medieval Europe and has never ranked among common names in the United States. Its rarity, combined with its pleasant sound and noble meaning, gives Edeline a unique charm with historical roots.
  9. Eleonore
    • Description:

      Eleonore is a feminine name with Germanic origins, a variant of Eleanor, which derives from the Provençal name Aliénor, meaning 'other' or 'foreign.' This regal name has been carried by numerous European nobility throughout history, including queens and duchesses. The spelling 'Eleonore' is particularly common in French, German, and Scandinavian countries, giving it a continental sophistication. With its elegant four syllables and flowing sound, Eleonore offers a more elaborate alternative to the more common Eleanor or Ellie. The name exudes classic dignity and timeless grace while still allowing for cute nicknames like Nora, Lena, or Elle. Though not among the most popular names in English-speaking countries, Eleonore maintains steady appeal for parents seeking a name with historical depth and European charm.
