Jazz singer Alberta Hunter was a noted bearer.
  4. Aleksandrina

    • Description:

      Aleksandrina is a feminine name of Slavic origin, representing the female form of Aleksandr (Alexander). Derived from the Greek name Alexandros, combining "alexein" (to defend) and "andros" (man), it means "defender of mankind" or "protector of men." Popular in Eastern European countries, particularly Russia, Bulgaria, and Macedonia, Aleksandrina carries a regal quality, as it was borne by several royal figures throughout history. The name offers various diminutive forms like Sasha, Aleks, or Rina. While less common in Western countries, its international character and classic origins make it an elegant choice with cross-cultural appeal. The name combines traditional heritage with a melodious, feminine quality.
  5. Aleksia

    • Description:

      Aleksia is a feminine name representing an Eastern European or Slavic variation of Alexia, ultimately derived from the Greek name Alexios meaning 'defender' or 'helper.' The spelling with 'k' instead of 'x' reflects the phonetic rendering common in languages like Polish, Russian, or Albanian. This variation maintains the melodic quality of Alexia while adding a touch of international flair. Aleksia has gained modest popularity as parents seek names with cross-cultural appeal and distinctive spellings. The name projects both strength (through its meaning) and femininity (through its soft ending). While less common than Alexia or Alexandra in English-speaking countries, Aleksia offers a recognizable yet fresh alternative that honors Eastern European heritage while remaining accessible to a wider audience.

  6. Alena

      Variation of Helen

      Aleta is a feminine name with multiple cultural origins. In Greek, it's a variation of Alethea, meaning "truth," while some sources connect it to Spanish origins as a diminutive of Alicia. The name also appears in mythology as one of the Nereids, sea nymphs from Greek legends. Aleta enjoyed modest popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century but remains relatively uncommon today. The name has a melodic, flowing quality with its simple three-syllable structure and soft sounds. Aleta strikes a balance between familiarity and distinctiveness—recognizable without being common. Its classical roots give it timeless appeal, while its slight exoticism adds interest. Parents might choose Aleta seeking a name with historical depth that still feels fresh and underused in contemporary contexts.

  8. Alice

      German
