Anthropologie Clothing Names
- Meyer
Origin:
German surname or HebrewMeaning:
"landlord, farmer; bringer of light"Description:
Favored by first-generation Jewish families from the affluent Guggenheims to criminal-producing Lanskys; now Meyer is pretty much relegated to poolside gin games in Boca.
- Merriweather
- Patsy
Origin:
English, diminutive of PatriciaMeaning:
"noble, patrician"Description:
This sassy, spunky name was used for the mostly Irish jump-roping pigtailed girls of the thirties and forties -- and some Irish and Italian boys as well. Its most noted bearer was iconic country music singer Patsy Cline (born Virginia), and was sighted most recently in the Ab Fab movie. After reaching Number 52 in the late thirties, it dropped off the list completely in 1970--and we're not anticipating a return.
- Stevie
Origin:
Short form of StephanieDescription:
Stevie survives as a short form of Stephanie thanks to the immortal Ms. Nicks. After a little more than a decade out of the limelight, she rejoined the US Top 1000 in 2014.
- Swida
- Turner
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"works with a lathe"Description:
Turner is a name that's both preppy and painterly, recalling the exquisite watercolor seascapes of British painter J.M.W. Turner. An occupational name in the Taylor-Carter mold, Turner is a more distinctive choice than many of the usual suspects.
- Trillium
