      Flower name, from Swedish surname

    • Meaning:

      "Dahl's flower"

    • Description:

      One of the flower names, used occasionally in Britain (where it's pronounced DAY-lee-a). It seems to have recovered from what was perceived as a slightly affected la-di-dah air. The flower was named in honor of the pioneering Swedish botanist Andreas Dahl, which means dale.
  8. Dalida

    • Description:

      Dalida is a feminine name with Egyptian and Italian roots. It gained recognition through the famous Egyptian-Italian-French singer and actress Dalida (born Iolanda Cristina Gigliotti) who rose to fame in the 1950s. The name may derive from the Biblical name Delilah, though with a softer sound. Dalida has an exotic, melodious quality that appeals to parents seeking something distinctive yet easy to pronounce. While not extremely common in English-speaking countries, it maintains popularity in Mediterranean regions, particularly France, Italy, and Middle Eastern countries. The name carries connotations of artistic talent and dramatic beauty, influenced by the legacy of the iconic performer who bore it.

      Latin

    • Meaning:

Widely used in India and among Hindu communities worldwide, this name carries spiritual significance and represents celestial radiance or divine light.

  11. Elidia

    • Description:

      Elidia is a feminine name with Spanish and Greek roots. It's a variation of names like Elida or Elydia, potentially derived from the Greek 'Elidaia,' referring to ancient Elis in Greece. The name may also be connected to the Greek word 'helios' meaning 'sun.' Elidia has remained relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, giving it a distinctive quality. In Hispanic communities, it's appreciated for its melodic sound and elegant feminine ending. The name carries a sense of brightness and warmth, reflecting its possible solar connections. While not widely used, Elidia has maintained a consistent presence, particularly in Spanish-speaking regions and communities.
  12. Elvia

  13. Elysia

    • Origin:

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      "from Elysium"

    • Description:

      While this might be used as an alternative spelling to Elisa, Alyssa, Alicia, and similar, this form stands out from the pack as Elysia relates to Elysian Fields, the home of the blessed dead in Greek and Roman mythology. Far less popular than other similar choices, it did rank in the UK Top 1000 until the 2020s, albeit near the latter end of the list.
  14. Euphemia

    • Origin:

      Greek

    • Meaning:

      "fair speech"

    • Description:

      Ancient martyr's name that, though not especially appealing, might still be mildly possible, especially for Anglophiles. It was widely used in early Scotland, but was overtaken by its nickname, Effie.
  15. Flavia

    • Origin:

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      "golden, blond"

    • Description:

      An ancient Roman clan name, Flavia is one choice that's unusual but historic. Now a Top 60 name in Italy, Flavia has been a rarity in the US, but with the upswing in F names for girls, this could change. Seen more in literature than real life, Flavia was used as far back as an1580 romance, then in a William Dean Howells novel and as a Princess in The Prisoner of Zenda. Although the original pronunciation is FLAH-via, Flavie (as in flavor) could make a cute nickname.
  16. Georgia

    • Origin:

      English, feminine variation of George

    • Meaning:

      "farmer"

    • Description:

      Georgia is so rich, lush and luscious, it's almost irresistible. Georgia's now a rising star among the feminizations of George, helped by associations with the southern state (named for British King George II) and painter Georgia O'Keeffe, with the Ray Charles song "Georgia On My Mind" or maybe "Sweet Georgia Brown" playing in the background.
  17. Ilithyia

    • Origin:

      Greek from Latin

    • Meaning:

      "the readycomer"

    • Description:

      A name so old that it may predate the written word. Ilithyia is, immediately, the Latinized version of the name of the Greek goddess of childbirth and midwifery, but its roots stretch back to the Ancient Minoan civilization, and possibly beyond.
  18. Iridia
    • Laelia

      • Origin:

        Latin family name and botanical name

      • Description:

        Upside: it has an interesting ancient look and feel, related to the Roman family name Laelius of uncertain meaning. There is also a type of orchid called the Laelia. Downside: possible confusion with all those Laylas, Lailas, etc. out there.
    • Lavinia

      • Origin:

        Latin, from ancient place name Lavinium

      • Description:

        Lavinia is a charmingly prim and proper Victorian-sounding name which actually dates back to classical mythology, where it was the name of the wife of the Trojan hero Aeneas, who was considered the mother of the Roman people.
