  3. Cendrillon
    • Origin:

      French
    • Meaning:

      "little ashes"

      The unusual (to English speakers) name Cendrillon is French for Cinderella, though most Americans wouldn't recognize it as such.

      Charleston is one of those baby names that may become more popular thanks to its nickname Charlie, now used about equally for boys and girls.
