English word nameMeaning:
"the quality of being just, impartial, or fair"Description:
Justice, one of the rare virtue names for boys, entered the popularity ranks in 1992, and has remained on the list ever since. Parents' search for names implying virtue has led to a mini-revival of this long-neglected name in both its German homonymic form, Justus, and as the word itself. Steven Seagal was ahead of the curve when he used it back in 1976.

- Emmalene
Description:
Emmalene is a delicate feminine name that combines the classic Emma with the traditional suffix -lene. Emma derives from Germanic origins meaning 'universal' or 'whole,' while the -lene ending adds a flowing, graceful quality. This elaboration creates a name that feels both familiar and distinctive. Emmalene has historical roots but has never been widely popular, giving it a vintage charm without feeling overused. The name carries a sweet, gentle sound that evokes images of traditional femininity and warmth. Emmalene might appeal to parents who appreciate classic names like Emma or Helena but desire something less common. Its rhythmic three-syllable pattern and soft consonants create a melodious quality that feels both timeless and romantically old-fashioned.
