Uncommon, pretty sounding names with beautiful meanings that catch my eye. Some may be names from TV show characters, or names that I came across while browsing for Character names. Meanings and origins listed if known.
  1. Alyona

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Yelena, Russian

    • Meaning:

      "bright and shining light"

    • Description:

      New name in the pool of international names, added by lovely supermodel Alyona Osmanova.
  2. Daivyan

    • Description:

      Daivyan is a contemporary masculine name that appears to be a modern creation, possibly derived from combining elements of names like David, Daven, or Davian with a unique spelling. The name has an appealing rhythm with its two syllables and distinctive 'vy' combination. As a relatively new name invention, Daivyan has no substantial historical usage and remains quite rare in name registries. The name may also draw influence from Indian naming traditions, as it has a phonetic structure compatible with South Asian naming patterns. Daivyan offers parents seeking distinctive modern names an option that sounds familiar enough to be easily pronounced while being unusual enough that their child would likely be the only one with the name in their community. Its rarity gives it a contemporary, unique quality.

  3. Icarus

    • Origin:

      Greek mythology name

    • Description:

      Icarus, the mythological figure famous for flying too close to the sun, has a couple of negatives: his rash reputation, and those "icky" nicknames.
  4. Yuliy
    • Zephyr

      • Origin:

        Greek

      • Meaning:

        "west wind"

      • Description:

        If you're looking for a name that's light and breezy, this could be it. A name from mythology: Zephyrus/Zephyr was the Greek god of the west wind, and with its similarity in sound to the likes of Stefan or Seth, its zippy Z initial and cool Y, it is primed to rise up the US charts.
