Girl Names
- Bliss
Origin:
English word nameMeaning:
"great joy"Description:
A sweet, uplifting and still fairly uncommon modern virtue name. Its single syllable makes it especially good as a middle name, but it would also make a big impact in the first spot; in fact, nearly 90 girls in the US were called Bliss in a recent year.
- Sybella
Origin:
Variation of Sybil or SibylMeaning:
"seer, oracle"Description:
The lovely Sybella is being nudged into the spotlight by two influences: the original Sybil (the most popular spelling) or Sibyl, name of the beauteous youngest sister of television's period megahit Downton Abbey, and Top Ten name Isabella. Biggest downside: There are an awful lot of girls with names that are variations of Bella around these days. But Sybella at least makes a distinctive member of the genre.
- Magritte
Origin:
French surnameDescription:
Intriguing spin on Margaret or Maggie, for admirers of French surrealist Rene Magritte.
- Mimosa
Origin:
Latin plant nameDescription:
Adventurous parents are venturing deeper into the garden in search of fresh names, but remember that this also makes for an alcoholic brunch.
- Melba
Origin:
Modern invented nameDescription:
Australian opera singer Nellie Melba—self-named for her hometown of Melbourne—inspired this now-dated name more associated today with a peach dessert and dietetic toast.
- Rafaella
Origin:
Italian variation of Raphaela, HebrewMeaning:
"God has healed"Description:
Oh, the many spellings of Rafaella. Those with Fs and double-Ls denote Italian origins, while an F and a single L is Spanish and Portuguese. The original Hebrew form is Raphaela.
- Filomena
Origin:
GreekMeaning:
"lover of singing"Description:
See PHILOMENA.
- Nanette
Origin:
French diminutive of AnneMeaning:
"grace"Description:
There was a time when French names like Annette, Paulette – and Nanette – were chic, but now, we'd have to say "No, no, Nanette".
- Ambria
Description:
Ambria is a feminine name with Latin roots, possibly derived from 'Ambra' meaning 'amber' or related to 'Umbria,' an ancient Italian region. The name evokes images of the warm, golden-brown precious resin valued since ancient times. Ambria has a musical quality with its flowing syllables and combines familiarity with uniqueness—recognizable in structure yet uncommon in usage. The name shares sounds with the more popular Amber and Amelia but stands distinct with its own identity. While never reaching top popularity charts, Ambria has maintained steady if sparse usage in the United States and Europe. Its elegant sound and meaningful connections to nature make it appealing to parents seeking something distinctive yet melodic.
