  1. Abell

    • Description:

      Abell is a masculine name with ancient Hebrew roots, functioning primarily as a surname before its adoption as a given name. It derives from the biblical Abel (meaning 'breath' or 'vapor'), son of Adam and Eve. The doubled 'l' spelling reflects its evolution through Medieval Latin and Old French forms. As a first name, Abell maintains biblical connections while offering a distinctive alternative to the more common Abel. Though rare in contemporary usage, it has historical presence across European cultures. The name carries positive associations of innocence and virtue from its biblical origins. With its short, strong sound and rich heritage, Abell appeals to parents seeking an uncommon name with traditional roots and spiritual significance.

  2. Asher

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "fortunate, blessed, happy one"

    • Description:

      Asher—an excellent, soft and sensitive Old Testament choice—is a baby boy name on the rise, and is a Nameberry biblical favorite.
  3. Evelyn

    • Origin:

      English from French and German

    • Meaning:

      "desired; or water, island"

    • Description:

      After decades of disuse, soft and feminine Evelyn has returned to the baby name stage in a huge way. It reached the Top 10 for the first time in 2017. Evelyn has now surpassed its former heights, joining a legion of contemporary little Evas, Avas, Eves, Evies, and Evelines.
  4. Hadeon

    • Description:

      Hadeon is a rare masculine name with unclear etymological origins, though it may be a modern variation of names like Hadrian or Hayden. The name carries a contemporary feel with its unique construction and strong consonant sounds. The 'Had-' beginning potentially connects it to the Greek 'Hades,' though more likely it shares roots with Germanic or English name elements. Its rarity makes it appeal to parents seeking a distinctive name with a modern sound. Hadeon has a commanding presence and projects strength while maintaining a certain melodic quality. Though uncommon in naming databases and historical records, it fits well with current trends toward unique names with ancient-sounding qualities.
  5. Maris

    • Origin:

      Latin

    • Meaning:

    • Description:

      Maris is an unusual and appealing name that has never appeared in the U.S. Top 1000, overshadowed by its twentieth century elaboration, Marisa/Marissa. It derives from the phrase "Stella Maris," star of the sea, one of the many epithets of the Virgin Mary, and became familiar via the unseen (but unliked) character of sitcom Frasier's ex-sister-in-law.
  6. Mirra
