Names That Mean Second

Abam is a Twi girl name traditionally given to the second born child following twins.

This ancient Roman name was sometimes used to show a woman's birth order in her family. It has been used very rarely in modern times, but if you love clunky, ponderous, so-out-they're-in names it could be one to consider.

West African names often convey circumstances of birth. In this case, Afafa marks the first child born to a mother's second husband.
