  3. Astoria

    • Origin:

      Place name

    • Description:

      Long more associated with the New York Waldorf- hotel and the neighborhood in Queens than as a baby name, Astoria is finally beginning to emerge from their shadow and find favor with parents looking to move beyond Brooklyn.

      "the golden one"

    • Description:

      Aurelie is the delicate French variation of Aurelia, one of the most improbable popular names of recent years. Both versions of the name are lovely, but it might be difficult to insist that Americans pronounce Aurelie the attractive French way rather than like plain old orally.

  7. Constanta

    • Description:

      Constanta is a feminine name with Romanian and Latin roots, being the feminine form of Constantine. It derives from the Latin word "constans" meaning "constant," "steadfast," or "firm," suggesting qualities of loyalty and dependability. The name is particularly associated with Romania due to Constanța, the country's oldest continuously inhabited city and an important port on the Black Sea. This geographical connection adds cultural significance to the name. While relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, Constanta has historical depth and European elegance that may appeal to parents seeking a distinctive name with classical origins. The name's Romanian variation differs slightly from the Italian Costanza or Spanish Constanza, giving it a unique character while still being recognizable within the family of Constantine-derived names.

      Latin

    • Meaning:

This particular form is most recognized in Romanian and French-influenced naming traditions, though it remains relatively uncommon. The name carries an elegant, scholarly quality with its classical roots and melodic ending.

More in tune with the times than Linda, Belinda and Melinda, it could be used to honor someone with one of those dated names.
