- Esme
Origin:
FrenchMeaning:
"beloved"Description:
Esmé comes from the past participle of the Old French verb esmer, meaing "to esteem" or "to love." It can also be considered a derivative of the Spanish name Esmeralda, which means "emerald".
- Francesca
Origin:
Italian variation of Frances, LatinMeaning:
"from France or free man"Description:
Francesca is a lighter and much more feminine choice than the classic Frances, and one that is increasingly popular with upscale parents.
- Mae
Origin:
Diminutive of Mary or Margaret, Hebrew, LatinMeaning:
"beloved, bitter, drop of the sea; pearl"Description:
Mae, a sweet and springlike old-fashioned name, hadn't been on the national charts in forty years, but finally made it back in 2010. Mae is derived from May, the month name that was chosen for its connection to Maia, the Roman goddess of growth and motherhood.
- Teegan
Description:
Teegan is a contemporary feminine name with Irish and Welsh origins. It likely derives from the Irish surname Ó Tadhgáin (descendant of Tadhgán) or possibly from the Welsh 'teg' meaning 'fair' or 'beautiful.' The name emerged in popularity primarily in the late 20th century in North America and Australia. Teegan carries a modern, energetic quality with its crisp sounds and rhythmic flow. For girls, it represents a balance between strength and approachability, appealing to parents seeking a name that's distinctive without being difficult to pronounce or spell. Though still relatively uncommon, Teegan has established itself as a recognizable contemporary choice that fits with trends favoring two-syllable names with strong consonant sounds.
