Origin:
Greek mythology nameDescription:
The mythological queen whose perpetual weeping for her slain children turned her into a stone has always cast a pall over this name.

- Feline
Origin:
Feminine form of Felinus, LatinMeaning:
"cat-like"Description:
This Top 100 girls' name in The Netherlands is unlikely to translate to the U.S., where it would undoubtedly pronounced fee-line and mistaken for the adjective that means cat-like. While the name Feline -- and Felina and Felinus -- do have the same root, the considerably more charming pronunciation in modern-day Europe is fee-LEEN-ah. Some websites mistakenly relate it to Felix and give its meaning as happy or fortunate.
