      English word name
    • Meaning:

      "independent, uncontrolled"
    • Description:

      English variation of Aria, Hebrew, Italian
    • Meaning:

      "lion of God; song"
    • Description:

      When actress Tamera Mowry named her daughter Ariah, she said it was a Hebrew name meaning "lion of God" -- which it is, if you consider Ariah a variation of Ariel. But many sources consider Ariah a spelling variation of the Italian Aria, meaning song or literally air.
  4. Jayne

      Variation of Jane
    • Description:

      Unplain (if dated) Jane.

      Arabic
    • Meaning:

      "height of religion; excellent in faith"
    • Description:

      We can't pretend that this name is not indelibly linked to the Disney's eponymous character, at least in the USA; but it's not a negative connotation and may appeal to you. Bosnian variation Aldin may be more wearable in the US, though.

      A cross between Ian and a group of atomic particles.

      Arabic
    • Meaning:

      Place-name from Papago Indian
    • Meaning:

      "little springs"
    • Description:

It peaked at Number 510 in 1882, before Arizona became a state. One notorious vintage bearer: criminal "Ma" Barker, born Arizona Clark.
