Anthropologie trendsetters #2

Part two! As expected from Anthropologie a bohemian, unexpected and elegant arrangement of names. This list is nothing short from unique. 

Izola is a feminine given name with multiple possible origins. It may be derived from the Italian city of Isola, meaning 'island' in Italian. Alternatively, it could be a variant of Isabel/Isabella (of Hebrew origin meaning 'pledged to God') or Isolde (a name from medieval Arthurian legend). The name appears in historical records in the United States dating back to the late 19th century, though it has always remained relatively uncommon. A notable bearer was Izola Curry, a historical figure from the Civil Rights era. The name saw modest usage through the early-to-mid 20th century but became increasingly rare after the 1950s. Izola has a melodic quality with its succession of open vowel sounds that gives it a distinctive lyrical quality.

<p>Lysa is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may function as a diminutive of Elisabeth or Melissa, a variant spelling of Lisa, or derive from names in various European languages. In some Slavic contexts, it can relate to words meaning 'fox' or 'forest.' This short, crisp name has a light, modern feel despite having historical precedents. Lysa gained some limited use in the late 20th century but remains relatively uncommon. The distinctive 'y' spelling gives it a contemporary edge compared to the more traditional Lisa. The name has cross-cultural versatility, working well in many language contexts. Its brevity makes it practical while the less common spelling helps it stand out. Lysa offers a blend of familiarity and uniqueness that many parents seek.</p>
