An old-fashioned Slovene nickname for Gertruda — the Jerca variation is considered more stylish.

Irish Gaelic form of Julia

See VALDA.

Somali and East African form of Hiba.

Eidra and its even sleeker sister Idra are simple-yet-unusual names -- no baby girls were given either name in the US in 2022. Eidra attracted attention as the name of a character of the Keri Russell TV show The Diplomat.

X replaces J in the Galicia region of Spain but is pronounced with the same H sound, making Xulia and Xulio the equivalent of Julia and Julio.
