Girl Names

  1. Cyra
    • Origin:

      Persian or Greek
    • Meaning:

      "sun or throne, or lord"
    • Description:

      Cyra is an unusual name that can be pronounced either SEER-a or SI-ra, rhyming with Keira or Tyra. This name may be a feminine variation of Cyrus but is also a Persian name that stands on its own. One noted bearer is writer Cyra McFadden.
  2. Corin
    • Origin:

      Latin
    • Meaning:

      "spear"
    • Description:

      Corin is a Shakespearean male name that could easily be adapted for a girl, making a strong update for Corinne or Karen.
  3. Raylan
    • Origin:

      Modern invented name
    • Description:

      Raylan may be on the rise as a baby name thanks to (male) TV lawman Raylan Givens, but the name is also occasionally used for girls: the statistical gender split is 15 to 1. The -lan ending might be thought of as Lynn-like, with Raylan an updated spin on such midcentury concoctions as Rae-Lynn.
