A Japanese name with real firepower, Kasai could be a name that's going places. It's a well-kept secret in the US — for girls at least. Given to just 6 baby girls in a recent year, it was nevertheless picked for 63 boys, making it a masculine leaning unisex option. 
 A romanization of the Japanese word for fire, particularly one spreading over a wide area, Kasai is also a surname in Japan. It was also chosen by actress Skai Jackson in 2025 for her baby, which may well generate more interest around the name. 
 The name Kasai coincides with the name of a river running though the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Sweet, spirited, and unexpected as a given name, reality TV star Lala Kent brought Sosa into the spotlight when she chose it for her daughter in 2024. A Spanish name deriving from the Portuguese surname Sousa, Sosa is a unique choice that still fits in with the likes of Luna, Rosa, Nova, and Luz. 
 
The literal meaning of Sosa is "from Sousa", Sousa being a river in Portugal that takes its name from either the Latin salsus meaning "salty" or saxa meaning "stones, rocks, pebbles". As a surname, Sosa appears in a variety of forms, including Souza, D'Souza, and de Sousa. 
 
Sosa ticks lots of boxes then: it's a place name, a nature name, a surname, and a unique name that's concise and zippy. It's possible that Lala Kent chose the name for its salty water meaning, so that it matches big sister Ocean's name. 
 
Occasionally used on boys in the US, coming years might just see it used more often on girls.
