A lovely Arabic name for girls mostly used for Muslim girls of South Asian descent.

This rare girl name returned to the US charts in 2020 after a gap of over 60 years. It's appealing and nickname-like... but more parents nowadays just use the spelling Levi for their daughters.

Dacia is an ancient place-name -- it was in Eastern Europe -- as lacy as Dacey, but more substantial.

One of the few French words/names not attractive to the American ear. It's pronounced moo-gay, not a winner on either syllable. Alternatives: Liliane, Lily, Lilou, Manon.

Lovely Sanskrit name that likely means "cherished." Prisma bears resemblance to the word "prism," giving it a light, bright, and colorful aura.

Variant of Seble

A sweet nature name, derived from sól "sun" and ey "island", which is the Icelandic word for the buttercup flower. In the Faroe islands it is also found as a short form of Sólja "buttercup".

Youthful Kazakh name derived from the Turkic word for moon, ay.

Scandinavian form of Scilla

Familiar-but-new and ultra-rare (for girls anyway), Zealand has a lot going for it with its spunky Z initial and globe-trotting vibes. Sparingly used for boys since the 2000s and even more occasionally used for girls since 2010, YouTube family The Labrants brought this name into the spotlight when they called their son Zealand in 2019.
