  1. Aurelia

    • Origin:

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      "the golden one"

    • Description:

      Aurelia is an ancient Roman name that's become a surprise hit in the contemporary world. A top favorite on Nameberry, it reentered the US Top 1000 in 2014 after a 70-year absence and continues to climb.
  2. Amelia
    • Cecelia

      • Origin:

        Latin

      • Meaning:

        "blind"

      • Description:

        Cecelia, with this spelling, got some recent attention as the name of Jim and Pam's baby on The Office -- and also the name of actress Jenna Fischer's newborn niece. A spelling variation of Cecilia that has a gently old-fashioned feel and several appealing short forms, including Celia, Celie, and, as on the TV show, Cece. Three times as many babies are given the Cecilia spelling as get the Cecelia one, though if you plan on calling your daughter Cece or Celia, Cecelia may feel like the more logical spelling.
    • Cornelia

      • Origin:

        Feminine variation of Cornelius, Latin

      • Meaning:

        "horn"

      • Description:

        In ancient Rome, Cornelia was considered the paragon of womanly virtue, making it a handsome name with an excellent pedigree. It's rare today, so if you want a name no one else is using, somewhat reminiscent of Amelia and the Shakespearean Cordelia, Cornelia should be on your list. Cornelia's short forms might include Cora, Nelia or Nell--anything but Corny.

        Greek

      • Meaning:

        "born on the island of Delos"

        Delia is a somewhat neglected southern charmer that stands on its own but also might be short for Adelia or Cordelia.
    • Fidelia

      • Origin:

        Latin

      • Meaning:

        "faithful"

      • Description:

        Fidelia stems from the Latin word Fides, meaning faith. It has the some root as the English word fidelity. Fidelia gained popularity in the mid-19th Century after Beethoven's opera "Fidelio" gave this name cultural and virtuous significance.
    • Marcelia

      • Description:

        Marcelia is a feminine name with Latin origins, likely derived from Marcella, the feminine form of Marcellus, meaning 'dedicated to Mars' (the Roman god of war). Another possible origin is as a variant of Marcella combined with Celia, adding the meaning 'heavenly.' With its romantic, flowing sound, Marcelia has a lyrical quality reminiscent of many Romance language names. Though uncommon in English-speaking countries, it has seen some usage in Latin American cultures. The name offers several nickname possibilities including Marcy, Celia, or Lia. Marcelia brings together classical roots with a distinctive, melodious quality that sets it apart from more common names.
    • Obelia

    • Sarelia

      • Description:

        Sarelia is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variation of Sarah (Hebrew for 'princess') with an ornamental ending, or derive from a combination of Sara and Aurelia. Another possibility is that it evolved as a variation of the Spanish name Sarela. The name has a melodic quality with its flowing syllables and soft sounds. Sarelia remains relatively uncommon in most English-speaking countries, giving it a distinctive quality for those seeking a unique name with classical undertones. It has gained modest popularity in Hispanic communities and among parents drawn to names ending with the feminine '-lia' sound. Sarelia projects elegance and individuality while maintaining a connection to more traditional naming conventions.

      • Description:

        An appealing name almost unknown in our culture but with roots in several others; worldlier than cousins Celia and Delia.
