Nameberry's Favorite Unique Names

A distinctive Polish short form of Krystyna, ultimately deriving from Christian, Krysia has a similar feel to Sasha, but with a bit of kick from the K sounds.

Sazz is the gender-neutral name of the nonbinary character played by Jane Lynch in Only Murders in the Building. While a pure invention for television, we can see it catching on ala other character names like Khaleesi and Kylo.

Like a blend of vintage-style Edie and popular Katie, Keedie is either an invented name, a variant of the Scottish surname Keddy, or possibly a short form of Katherine.
In the case of Soprano singer Keedie Babb, her name was a creation of her father's, inspired by his love of pop star, Kiki Dee. As a variation of the Scottish surname, Keedie would ultimately derive from the Gaelic Mac Adaidh, meaning "the son of Adam" or "son of the red earth". As a diminutive of Katherine, Keedie likely draws inspiration from Kitty, Katie, Kadie, or Kiki.

A bold, golden feeling name, owing to the ringed planet it evokes, Saturnina derives from the name of the Roman God Saturn, the god of agriculture, also associated with renewal, time, and abundance.

With other Cornish names like Elowen and Jago catching people's attention, the mythical sounding Mithian might prove an unexpected and magical feeling choice. Traditionally called Mydhyan, Mithian is a village in Cornwall that sits between St Agnes and Perranporth.

Sweet, soft and devotional, this Hebrew name can also be spelled as Emunah. In Jewish tradition, Emunah denotes the principles of faith, and the word amen derives from it. Literally translating to faith or trust in God, Emunah is better described as an innate and fairly held belief and trust in the truth of God. It may be enhanced by study and learning, but exists without this.

A strong and regal sounding name that appears in the Old Testament, Melech is also spelled as Meilech and Melek. The name is related to Melchior - one of the three kings said to have visited Jesus - and to the Arabic Malik, as both ultimately derive from Maloka, a royal title used in ancient Assyria and Babylonia.

Levander combines the poetic qualities of Leander with the might Evander, and then adds in a dash of Lavender too. Sometimes used as a surname, it could be a sound-alike to the Italian Levante, a twist on the Leo variant, Levan, or a play on the aforementioned Greek Leander.

Sazz is a name invented for the nonbinary character played by Jane Lynch in Only Murders in the Building. While no actual babies have received this name yet, they will.
