Avatar: The Last Airbender // Legend of Korra Names
- Meelo
- Ming-Hua
- Opal
Origin:
SanskritMeaning:
"gem"Description:
Opal is on the verge of a repolishing, following other jewel names like Ruby and Pearl. A Top 100 name during the first two decades of the twentieth century, the opalescent Opal has a good chance of coming back as another O-initial option.
- Otaku
- Ozai
- P'Li
- Pema
Origin:
TibetanMeaning:
"lotus flower"Description:
Pema is related to the more familiar Hindu name Padma and means lotus flower. This delightful name was given to only 14 girls in the USA last year, so it's guaranteed to be a unique choice. Pema is probably most familiar to Westerners through Buddhist nun Pema Chodron and through Jetsun Pema, the Dalai Lama's sister.
- Qin
- Rohan
Origin:
Spelling variation of Rowan, Irish and Scottish, or HindiMeaning:
"rowan tree, redhead, or sandalwood"Description:
From India, but feels like an Irish surname (and can in fact be a variation of Rowan), so a possible cross-cultural choice.
- Ryu
Origin:
JapaneseMeaning:
"dragon"Description:
This attractive mini-name combines multiple trends: the R initial, vowel-ending boy names, and a fantastical meaning.
- Raava
- Reiko
- Senna
Origin:
Botanical name; ArabicMeaning:
"brightness"Description:
Senna is a flowering bush common in the tropics, with bright yellow flowers. In herbal medicine, Senna has gained some notice as the active ingredient in so-called "dieter's teas," which works mainly as a laxative. While that is a less-than-savory association, Senna has a pretty sound and is a fresh entry in the flourishing botanical names genus.
- Shoji
- Suki
Origin:
Japanese or EnglishMeaning:
"loved one; lily"Description:
As a Japanese name, Suki has the sweet meaning "loved one". It's also an English diminutive of Susanna, making it a creative and modern way to honor a Susan in your life.
