6500+ Girl Names That End in E
- Sixtine
Origin:
French feminine variation of SixtusMeaning:
"sixth-born"Description:
While Sixtine is a name with ancient roots that's popular in modern-day France, it's hard to imagine it gaining hold in English-speaking lands, given its similarity to the number sixteen and its even-more-problematic similarity to the word "sexting." You wouldn't do that to your daughter.
- Elize
- Chance
Origin:
French variation of ChaunceyMeaning:
"chancellor"Description:
Chance feels like a mainstream pick for boys thanks to Chance the Rapper and several starbabies with the name. It hasn't caught on in the same way for girls, but it makes a strong alternative to the rather slight Lucky.
- Katharine
Origin:
Spelling variation of Katherine, GreekMeaning:
"pure"Description:
This is the spelling that old-time film star Katharine Hepburn used, and it's still favored by fans wanting to reference her classic strength and beauty. But in general, it's losing ground to Katherine and even Ms. Hepburn's own favorite short form, Kate.
- Khloe
Origin:
Variation of ChloeMeaning:
"young green shoot"Description:
Khloe's a variation of the popular Chloe, thanks to reality star Karshadian of the K-named family. Khloe jumped a whopping 101 places into 2009's Top 100 and peaked at 42 in 2010 but has declined in popularity in recent years.
- Maite
Origin:
BasqueMeaning:
"beloved"Description:
A top ten choice in Chile and a popular name throughout the Spanish-speaking world, Maite is a mighty-sounding name with a soft and sweet meaning. It is also found as a contracted form of María Teresa or María Esther.
- Ophelie
Origin:
French variation of OpheliaMeaning:
"help"Description:
Though this name properly takes an accent over the first e, most Americans would probably have trouble pronouncing it with French elan.
- Essence
Origin:
English word nameMeaning:
"the most significant element of a thing or person"Description:
Heavily perfumed word name that peaked a few years ago.
- Hettie
Origin:
Diminutive of Henrietta, EnglishMeaning:
"estate ruler"Description:
It may take another generation or so, but this category of Hettie-Lettie-Lottie names could make a comeback.
- Averie
Origin:
Spelling variation of AveryMeaning:
"ruler of the elves"Description:
This spelling has been on the rise since it entered the charts in 2004, hot on the coattails of trendy Avery.
- Liane
- Germaine
Origin:
French, feminine variation of GermainDescription:
Linked to the early days of feminism via Germaine Greer, this saint's name feels neither French nor German enough.
- Otilie
- Adélaïde
- Tyche
Origin:
GreekMeaning:
"fortune"Description:
Tyche is the goddess of luck and fate in Greek mythology. Her Roman equivalent is, fittingly, Fortuna.
- Carlisle
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"from the walled city"Description:
Carlisle may be a male name in Twilight (he's vampire hero Edward's adoptive father), but in the real baby naming world, it's used about a quarter of the time for girls. Unusual now, we think Carlisle (or Carlyle) has the potential to be the next Carter.
- Belphoebe
Origin:
Invented literary nameMeaning:
"beautiful shining one"Description:
The name of the character in Edmund Spenser's "The Faerie Queene" whom the poet intended as a representation of Queen Elizabeth I. While it will no doubt thrill your daughter's English professor, the addition of the "Bel" to already great Phoebe is on the fussy side.
- Lizette
Origin:
French, diminutive of ElizabethMeaning:
"pledged to God"Description:
Whether you spell it Lisette or Lizette, a somewhat dated diminutive that nevertheless retains some charm.
- Minette
Origin:
FrenchMeaning:
"faithful defender"Description:
Frenchified name rarely used in France. And perhaps even more rarely used in the US -- there were NO baby girls given the name on the official records of 2021.
- Penélope
