While uncommon in English-speaking countries, it enjoys greater recognition in Italy, the Philippines, and other regions with strong Catholic influences. The name has a lyrical, flowing quality with its soft consonants and open-vowel ending. Angeli conveys a sense of ethereal beauty and spiritual significance without being overly religious.

This melodic name gained popularity particularly in Spanish-speaking communities and among Latino populations in the United States during the late 20th century. Estefani offers a distinctive cultural flair while maintaining recognizable roots. The name experienced modest popularity peaks in the 1990s and early 2000s, coinciding with broader trends of embracing cultural naming variations. The spelling with an 'f' rather than 'ph' reflects Spanish orthographic conventions, making it more phonetically intuitive in Spanish language contexts. Estefani projects an image of gentle strength and cultural pride.

        • Leilani

          • Origin:

            Hawaiian

            "heavenly flower"

        • Leamsi
          • Mari

            • Origin:

              Welsh, Breton, Scandinavian, Hungarian, Estonian, and Basque variation of Maria or Mary

            • Meaning:

              "drop of the sea, bitter, or beloved"

            • Description:

              Mari enjoyed some mid-century popularity as a nicknameish version of Mary, but now deserves a second look as a multicultural classic. Mari is the name of the Basque goddess of fertility and weather and is also, for unrelated reasons, popular in Norway. The biggest problem with the potentially-lovely Mari will be getting people to say it the way you want. While some Europeans pronounce it as Marie, that will only confuse things more. Better to make it its own individual name by pronouncing it MAH-ree. As one commenter pointed out, in Estonian the name is not a Mary variation but means "berry" – all the more reason for us to like it!
