- Bart
- Edrian
- Sonny
- Addi
Description:
Addi is a feminine name with multiple cultural origins. It can be a diminutive form of names like Adelaide, Adeline, or Addison, or stand as an independent name. In Germanic languages, it relates to 'noble' or 'nobility,' while in Hebrew it can mean 'ornament' or 'jewel.' In Nordic countries, it may derive from 'Addý,' a diminutive of Aðalheiður. The name has gained moderate popularity in recent years as part of the trend toward shorter, nickname-style given names. Addi has a contemporary feel with its punchy two-syllable rhythm and friendly double consonant. Parents often choose it for its simplicity, cute sound, and international adaptability.
- Addie
Origin:
Diminutive of Adelaide or AdelineDescription:
Old-fashioned nickname with sweet turn-of-the-last-century charm that's become a favorite among the popular girl names starting with A of today. In fact, with all spellings of Adeline/Adalynn taken together firmly in the Top 10, and Adelaide and Addison also high in the charts, Addie is one of the most frequently-heard short forms around. But no matter how popular (or pandemic) it gets, Addie is undeniably one of the cutest names for baby girls. Little girls might like the fact that it's the name, though spelled Addy, of an American Girl series doll.
- Addis
Origin:
Ethiopian, AmharicMeaning:
"new"Description:
This Ethiopian boy name looks like a shortening of popular Addison, but has separate roots. Nonetheless, with Addison's popularity, Addis would fit in while standing out as a boy's name in English-speaking countries. Addis means "new", as seen in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa, meaning "new flower".
- Addis
Description:
Addis is a feminine name with diverse origins. It may derive from the Hebrew 'Hadassah,' meaning 'myrtle tree,' or it could be connected to the Ethiopian city Addis Ababa, whose name means 'new flower' in Amharic. As a personal name, Addis has remained relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries but carries a distinctive, international quality. The name's brevity and soft consonants give it a gentle yet modern feel. With the popularity of short names beginning with 'A' (like Ava, Ada, and Aria), Addis offers a more unique option while following familiar phonetic patterns. The name's multicultural roots make it appealing to parents seeking a name with global connections and understated elegance.
- Addy
Origin:
Diminutive of Adelaide or AdelineDescription:
This name has become increasingly popular, though usually with the Addie spelling. In fact, Addy/Addie has taken over for Maddie and Allie as one of the most frequently-heard short forms for a range of also-popular formal names, including Adeline, Adalynn, Adeliaide, and Addison. As Addy, it's the name of an American Girls doll.
- Addyson
Origin:
Spelling variation of AddisonMeaning:
"son of Adam"Description:
Variation of the very trendy Addison, perhaps lending itself more obviously to the nickname Addy.
- Adelite
Origin:
Gem name from GreekMeaning:
"indistinct"Description:
An unusual way to get to the nickname Addie.
- Aden
Origin:
Variation of Aidan, IrishMeaning:
"little and fiery"Description:
Although this variation is less popular than ultra-trendy Aiden, this simplified spelling doesn't do anything for the name.
- Aderyn
Origin:
CornishMeaning:
"bird"Description:
Aderyn, like cousin Elowen, may have found her moment: Aderyn makes an original full name that gets you to the cute and trendy nickname Addie. Just remember to put the emphasis on the second syllable.
- Aduke
Origin:
Yoruba, NigerianMeaning:
"much loved"Description:
A beautiful African name which can also lead to the always-wearable "Addy" nickname.
- Ailish
Origin:
Scottish and IrishMeaning:
"noble"Description:
This Anglicized spelling makes the pronunciation of Ailís or Aileas – the Irish and Scottish forms of Alice, respectively – slightly more obvious to English-speakers. Ailis or Aileas are more authentic spellings, but may be fighting a losing battle against the influence of Billie Eilish.
- Aimil
Description:
Aimil is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variant of Amelia, which derives from Germanic roots meaning 'work' or 'industrious.' Alternatively, it could be related to the Gaelic name Eimile or serve as a feminine form of Emil, which comes from the Roman family name Aemilius, meaning 'rival' or 'emulating.' This distinctive spelling gives the name a delicate, ethereal quality while maintaining familiar sounds. Aimil remains quite uncommon, making it appealing to parents seeking a rare name with historical connections. Its brief, melodic sound fits contemporary naming trends that favor short, vowel-rich names while still carrying historical depth and cross-cultural resonance.
- Albert
Origin:
GermanMeaning:
"noble, bright"Description:
Albert has acquired a new gloss as one of the top royal baby boy names, a considerable upgrade from its serious, studious image (think Einstein, Schweitzer).
- Albie
Origin:
Diminutive of Albert, Alban or AlbusDescription:
This cute masculine nickname -- with connections to princes, Hogwarts headmasters and the Manzo family of "Real Housewives of New Jersey" -- almost has enough heft to stand on its own. But all of its precursor names have merit.
- Apollo
Origin:
Greek mythology nameMeaning:
"destroyer; strength; father's light"Description:
With mythological names rising, the handsome son of Zeus and god of medicine, music, and poetry among many other things might offer an interesting, and melodic option. Similar in style to Atlas and Atticus and similar in sound to Arlo, Paolo, Paul, and Ollie, Apollo entered the US Top 1000 back in 2012, and was propelled upwards after it was chosen by Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale in 2014.
- Argyle
Origin:
ScottishMeaning:
"an Irishman, from the land of the Gaels"Description:
Nice Scottish sound, but too tied to sweaters and socks.
- Argyris
Origin:
GreekMeaning:
"silver"Description:
A more modern form of Argyros.
