Female names that I really like. Lots of nature names, as well as other categories.
- Lasairfhíona
Origin:
IrishMeaning:
"flame of wine"Description:
Lasairfhíona is made up of lasair meaning "flame" and "fíona" meaning "of wine" in Old Irish. Popular in the Middle Ages, it has become a rarity now. Lasarina is an Anglicized form, while Laisrén is a masculine one.
- Lavender
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"purple flower"Description:
Lavender lags far behind sweet-smelling purple-hued sister names Violet and Lila, but is starting to get some enthusiastic attention from cutting-edge namers along with other adventurous nature names like Clementine and Marigold.
- Liliana
Origin:
Italian and Spanish variations of LilianMeaning:
"lily, a flower"Description:
Frilly and fit for a princess, but with plenty of spark and flair, Liliana holds international appeal and a modern glamor. Joining Lily and Lillian in the US Top 100 for the first time in 2022, Liliana is a fast-rising choice for girls.
- Mariposa
Origin:
SpanishMeaning:
"butterfly"Description:
Mariposa is a rare, romantic choice with an intriguing meaning.
- Mitzi
Origin:
German, diminutive of MariaMeaning:
"bitter"Description:
Mitzi is a spunky German nickname name that might appeal to parents drawn to the genre of lively vintage chorus girl names that proliferated in 1930's musicals. Lively entertainer Mitzi Gaynor--who was originally named Francesca Marlene de Czani von Gerber--made the name notable in mid-century America.
- Pomeline
Origin:
French, related to "apple"Meaning:
"apple"Description:
A rarely heard--even in France--name, most prominent as the third name of Charlotte Marie Pomeline Casiraghi, the daughter of Princess Caroline of Monaco and granddaughter of Grace Kelly.
- Roselle
Origin:
Combination of Rose and ElleDescription:
Most contemporary parents would probably opt for the more streamlined Elle.
- Snow
Origin:
English word nameDescription:
There's definitely a cold front of names for winter babies moving in, with Summer, Spring and Autumn giving way to Winter--plus North, January, Frost--and Snow. This name feels brisk, fresh, pure, evocative -- and magical. A haunting middle name choice.
- Summerlin
Description:
Summerlin is a modern feminine name derived from the English word 'summer' combined with the diminutive suffix '-lin.' Originally appearing as a surname or place name, Summerlin evokes warm weather, sunshine, and the carefree spirit of the summer season. The name has gained limited usage as a first name primarily in the United States in recent decades, partly influenced by the master-planned community called Summerlin in Las Vegas, Nevada. It fits with contemporary naming trends favoring nature-inspired names and surnames as first names. Summerlin offers a distinctive option for parents seeking a name with seasonal associations and a gentle yet contemporary sound.
- Violet
Origin:
English from LatinMeaning:
"purple"Description:
Violet is soft and sweet, yet with a vivacious edge. Today, Violet is the top flower name for girls, outranking Lily and Iris in the Top 100, and the second most popular color name for girls after Scarlett.
- Zusa
Origin:
YiddishMeaning:
"sweet"Description:
Zusa is a sweet (literally!) and sparky Yiddish name which has real potential in today's naming climate, given the popularity of high-value Scrabble letters like Z.
