Girl Names

  1. Sybella

    • Origin:

      Variation of Sybil or Sibyl

    • Meaning:

      "seer, oracle"

    • Description:

      The lovely Sybella is being nudged into the spotlight by two influences: the original Sybil (the most popular spelling) or Sibyl, name of the beauteous youngest sister of television's period megahit Downton Abbey, and Top Ten name Isabella. Biggest downside: There are an awful lot of girls with names that are variations of Bella around these days. But Sybella at least makes a distinctive member of the genre.
  2. Rafaella

    • Origin:

      Italian variation of Raphaela, Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "God has healed"

    • Description:

      Oh, the many spellings of Rafaella. Those with Fs and double-Ls denote Italian origins, while an F and a single L is Spanish and Portuguese. The original Hebrew form is Raphaela.
  3. Ofelia

    • Description:

      Ofelia is a feminine name with roots in ancient Greek literature, derived from the name Ophelia. It originated from the Greek word 'ophelos,' meaning 'help' or 'benefit.' This name gained literary prominence through Shakespeare's character in 'Hamlet.' The Spanish and Italian variant Ofelia has been particularly popular in Hispanic and Mediterranean cultures. Throughout history, it has conveyed a sense of tragic beauty and poetic elegance. In modern times, Ofelia has experienced renewed interest as parents seek names with classical origins and rich cultural significance. The name carries an air of sophistication and timeless appeal, with a hint of dramatic flair.
  4. Perla

    • Origin:

      Spanish variation of Pearl

    • Description:

      Consistently popular Latina gem name; good choice for those who can't shake Pearl's grandmotherly vibe.
  5. Lisbeth

    • Origin:

      German, diminutive of Elizabeth

    • Description:

      Lisbeth is one of the many short forms of Elizabeth that are used on their own. Not only is it the name of the mother of the main character in George Eliot's novel Adam Bede, but it takes on a whole new, powerful image as the heroine of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trilogy. Lizbeth is another spelling.
  6. Rilla

    • Origin:

      German

    • Meaning:

      "small brook"

    • Description:

      Rilla dropped out of the US Top 1000 in 1915, but it's starting to feel like an intriguing possibility again in this age of short, sweet, a-ending names for girls. It is traditionally a short form for names ending in -rilla, like Marilla from the Anne of Green Gables books (Anne's youngest daughter is Bertha Marilla, called Rilla for short). Rilla may also derive from the German word Rille, meaning "brook; stream".
  7. Ambria

    • Description:

      Ambria is a feminine name with Latin roots, possibly derived from 'Ambra' meaning 'amber' or related to 'Umbria,' an ancient Italian region. The name evokes images of the warm, golden-brown precious resin valued since ancient times. Ambria has a musical quality with its flowing syllables and combines familiarity with uniqueness—recognizable in structure yet uncommon in usage. The name shares sounds with the more popular Amber and Amelia but stands distinct with its own identity. While never reaching top popularity charts, Ambria has maintained steady if sparse usage in the United States and Europe. Its elegant sound and meaningful connections to nature make it appealing to parents seeking something distinctive yet melodic.

  8. Melba

    • Origin:

      Modern invented name

    • Description:

      Australian opera singer Nellie Melba—self-named for her hometown of Melbourne—inspired this now-dated name more associated today with a peach dessert and dietetic toast.
