There are so many ancient names for girls — from Rome and Byzantium, from Olde England and Germany, all the way to Mongolia — that deserve to be unearthed in the interest of cool. Ancient, extravagant girl names such as Persephone and Octavia are currently staging a comeback, while plenty of rarer choices wait in the wings.

Along with Octavia and Persephone, other cool girl names from ancient cultures in the US Top 1000 include Arya, Aurelia, Calliope, Hadassah, Itzel, Lucia, Valentina, and Valeria. We have our eye on Minerva, Juno, Honoria, and Cyra to be among the next wave of ancient girl names to be revived.
