- Felia
- Adelaida

- Sanya
Origin:
Diminutive of Aleksandra, Russian from GreekMeaning:
"defending men"Description:
An alternative to Sasha, another common Russian nickname for Aleksandra.
- Ashala
Origin:
Variation of Asha or AshleyDescription:
Although Ashala is steadily yet quietly used as a name in its own right, it seems to be an invention derived from either Asha, a Sanskrit word and name meaning "hope" and also sometimes a variant of the Arabic Aisha, or the 1990s megapopular Ashley, an English name meaning "dweller near the ash tree mountain." Ashala has a rhythmic, euphonic sound but not much authentic heft. There was a minor character in Star Wars named Ashala.
- Elvia
- Kelila
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"laurel, crown"Description:
Kelila, which can also be spelled Kelilah, is a more distinctive and attractive Kayla relative.
- Aviella
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"God is my father"Description:
Variation of Aviela/Abiela, feminine forms of the Biblical Aviel/Abiel "God is my father", and related to Avielle.
- Hava
Origin:
Modern variation of EveDescription:
Hava is an anglicization of the Hebrew name Chava, which, like its English form Eve, means "life". In some accents, it may sound like "have a", so it's worth considering if this will be an issue combined with a last name. But overall, it's an elegantly simple name with a great meaning.
- Sita
Origin:
SanskritMeaning:
"furrow"Description:
Sita's off-beat meaning becomes more powerful once you remember that Sita is the Hindu goddess of the harvest - therefore somewhat of a life-force.
- Yuliana
Origin:
Russian variation of Juliana, LatinMeaning:
"youthful or sky father"Description:
Julia is a name that's ancient and hallowed enough to not only have many variations, but for its variations to have variations. Juliana has been consistently used in the US and Europe, sometimes spelled Julianna. Yuliana or Yulianna is the Russian version. That Y at the beginning makes the name sound distinctly more exotic in the US.
- Rupa
Origin:
SanskritMeaning:
"silver"Description:
Related to the Indian word and currency "rupee', Rupa derives its meaning from the ancient Sanskrit language, and can mean both silver and beautiful. Rupa also has strong historical and literary associations (as Rupa Bhawani was a noted 16th Century poetess and mystic) from Kashmir.
- Sada
Origin:
Hebrew variation of Sarah; also JapaneseMeaning:
"chaste"Description:
The late actress Sada Thompson introduced this obscure but usable form.

This feminine name — simply "angel" imported into Māori phonology — is fresher than Angela and less Hollywood than Angelina.
- Titiana
Origin:
LatinMeaning:
"title of honor"Description:

Choctaw, Native AmericanMeaning:
"owl"
- Eiza
- Invicta
Origin:
LatinMeaning:
"invincible"Description:
Elizabeth Holmes named the baby daughter she had during her trial for the Theranos fraud Invicta, perhaps symbolizing that her conviction does not mean defeat. Invicta has been used in mottoes since ancient Roman times, including Roma Invicta, which means Rome Undefeated, and the motto of contemporary Kent, in England. Invicta combines two trends, for word names and Ancient Roman names, in one original name.
