Names ending in a

Adema is the name of a rock band that might be adapted as a girl's name -- though sounds a bit like a medical condition.

A pretty name with echoes of Ana, Ava and Olivia — and the option of Navy as a middle name — brought to public attention by Olympic sprinter Anavia Battle. Her siblings have equally cool names: Mintoria, Antoine and Montel.

Though this name may seem unfamiliar and out of place these days, it enjoyed some use around the turn of the twentieth century. With little information about the history of this name available, it's most likely a feminized version of the word oath, implying truthfulness.
