After all of the Lizzy's, and Bessie's, and Lisa's, and Beth's, Elizabeth has produced itself a creative side to all of these otherwise normal names. These baby names range from vintage to modern in a whole new way.
- Bethel
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"house of God"Description:
A rarely used Biblical place-name with a soft and pleasant sound.
- Bizza
- Leah
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"weary"Description:
Strong but sweet, Leah is a classic name that doesn’t feel dull or dusty. It’s got plenty of dignity, grace, and pluck, making it a solid choice in the 21st century.
- Lizeth
Origin:
Short form of ElizabethDescription:
For parents who are trying to cut down on their vowels, consonants, and syllables.
- Lilit
- Thea
Origin:
GreekMeaning:
"goddess, godly"Description:
Thea is a diminutive of names ending in -thea, including Dorothea, Althea, and Anthea. It is also the Anglicized spelling of Theia, the Titan of sight, goddess of light, and mother of the moon. She was the consort of Hyperion, and mother of Helios, Selene, and Eos.
- Zia
Origin:
Latin; Arabic; ItalianMeaning:
"grain; light, splendor; aunt"Description:
A short and zippy name that would blend right in with but also stand out among a group of girls named Mia, Gia, Lia and Tia. If you're searching for girl names that work in many cultures, this is an accessible yet distinctive choice. One caveat though: in an Italian-American family it would be strange to have a baby named Aunt.
- Zabet
- Zabeth
