Animal Names for Girls

A unisex name from the snowy north.

Deriving from Old German adal "noble" and heit "type" or "-ness", this weighty ancient name is the ultimate root of modern favorites like Alice, Adelaide, Ada, Allison and Heidi.

This lovely French word name would also make a delighting middle name for a child of either sex.

Ante is the equivalent to Antony in Croatia, Bosnia, and other Balkan countries. Antea is the feminine equivalent, and would make a sweet, modern-sounding alternative to dusty Antonia.
