  10. Jamiya
    • Description:

      Jamiya appears to be a contemporary given name that emerged in the United States in the late 20th century. The name likely draws from the popular name elements 'Ja-' (seen in names like James, Jamaal, and Jasmine) and '-miya' which could relate to the Japanese word for temple or shrine, though this connection may be coincidental rather than intentional. Alternatively, it might be a creative variation of names like Jamila or Jamilah, which have Arabic origins meaning 'beautiful.' Phonetically, Jamiya follows contemporary naming patterns that favor melodic, vowel-ending names for girls. The name began appearing more frequently in American naming records during the 1990s and 2000s, reflecting broader trends toward distinctive, mellifluous names with creative spellings. Its usage demonstrates how modern naming often draws from diverse phonetic influences to create names with a pleasing sound and unique character.

        Amalisa is a smoosh of the prefix of Amabel and Amanda, which means lovable, and Lisa, a diminutive of Elizabeth that's long been used on its own. In some ways, it's an improvement on all of its root names -- fresher and more distinctive than Amanda or Lisa and easier to understand than Amabel, which is often confused with Annabel. Though Amalisa can be similarly confused with Annalisa which will inevitably become annoying.

        Nariah is a contemporary feminine name that has gained popularity in the United States since the early 2000s. It appears to be a modern variation or blend of names like Mariah, Norah, or Aria, potentially influenced by biblical names ending with the '-iah' suffix, which means 'of God' in Hebrew. While not having deep historical roots, Nariah has a melodic quality and contemporary appeal that resonates with parents seeking something distinctive yet accessible. The name conveys a sense of grace and uniqueness, following naming trends that favor vowel-rich names with flowing sounds. Nariah has steadily increased in usage but remains uncommon enough to be considered a distinctive choice.
    • Harleth
      • Origin:

        Surname; modern invented name
      • Description:

        Harleth is a name which probably stems from combining the oh-so-trendy Harlow with the evergreen Elizabeth. However, literary parents may also remember the beautiful but difficult character Gwendolen Harleth from George Eliot's Daniel Deronda. Harleth has a fashionable edge to it, being associated with rising supermodel Harleth Kuusik.
    • Blakeleigh
      • Description:

        Blakeleigh is a feminine name that represents a modern elaboration of the name Blake, combining it with the popular '-leigh' suffix. Blake itself originated as an Old English surname meaning "dark" or "black," originally referring to someone with dark hair or complexion or someone who lived near a black stream or hillside. The addition of "leigh" (a variation of "lee" meaning meadow or clearing) creates a distinctly feminine version with a contemporary feel. Blakeleigh emerged during the 2000s-2010s trend of creating longer, more elaborate girls' names from traditionally masculine or surname sources. The name fits with similar popularized constructions like Brinkleigh or Oakleigh. While still relatively uncommon, Blakeleigh appeals to parents seeking a modern, feminine-sounding name with the familiar root of Blake but a more elaborate and distinctive presentation.
