Here are names that I find interesting. I come from a multicultural family, so I enjoy learning about new names from all over the world.
  1. Ariah

    • Origin:

      Hebrew or Italian

    • Meaning:

      "lion of God or song"

    • Description:

      When actress Tamera Mowry named her daughter Ariah, she said it was a Hebrew name meaning "lion of God" -- which it is, if you consider Ariah a variation of Ariel. But many sources consider Ariah a spelling variation of the Italian Aria, meaning song or literally air.
  2. Jamila

    • Origin:

      Arabic

    • Meaning:

      "beautiful, graceful"

    • Description:

      Soft and appealing, with a whiff of vanilla.
  3. Yara

    • Origin:

      Arabic, Persian, Brazilian, Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "friend, helper; strength; water nymph; honeycomb"

    • Description:

      The multicultural Yara is a sweet but substantial choice that could make a more unusual take on Sara and also work in multiple languages Popular in Portugal, The Netherlands, and Switzerland, familiar in the UK and France, it entered the US Top 1000 in 2017 and has been climbing the charts ever since.
