Girls Names Beginning With E

Edin is a versatile name with multiple origins that can be used for girls, though it's traditionally more common for boys in some cultures. In Bosnian, it derives from Arabic meaning 'paradise' or 'Eden,' while in Scottish Gaelic it relates to 'hill' or 'slope.' As a feminine name, it may be a shortened form of Edina or a variant of Eden. Edin has a minimalist, modern appeal with its crisp four-letter structure. While not common in English-speaking countries for girls, it has gained some usage in parts of Europe. The name's simplicity makes it cross-cultural and easy to pronounce. For parents seeking a short, meaningful name with international appeal, Edin offers an understated elegance and subtle connection to natural imagery or paradisiacal connotations.

Eirini is the traditional Greek form of Irene, deriving from the Greek word 'eirēnē' meaning 'peace.' This beautiful feminine name has profound historical roots in ancient Greek culture, where Eirene was the goddess of peace and spring. The name has remained consistently popular in Greece throughout history and is still widely used today. In Greek Orthodox tradition, Saint Irene of Thessaloniki is venerated as a martyr. Eirini retains its authentic Greek pronunciation with its flowing vowels and gentle consonants. As international parents increasingly seek names with both cultural significance and positive meanings, Eirini offers a meaningful alternative to the more commonly used Irene in Western countries while preserving its rich Hellenic heritage.
