  1. Eben
    • Origin:

      Hebrew, diminutive of Ebenezer
    • Meaning:

      "stone of help"
    • Description:

      Though most parents would shy away from Ebenezer, short form Eben is affable and creative and perfectly able to stand alone; nothing Scroogish about it. This also makes a fresh new spin on the very popular Ethan or Evan.
  2. Eliut
    • Description:

      Eliut is a masculine name with potential Hebrew or Spanish origins. It may be a variant of Eliot/Elliot (from the Hebrew Elijah, meaning 'Jehovah is God') or possibly related to the Spanish name Eliud. The name has biblical connections, as Eliud appears in the Gospel of Matthew's genealogy of Jesus. With its distinctive yet accessible sound, Eliut combines the popular 'Eli' prefix with a short, strong ending. Though uncommon in mainstream name rankings, Eliut has seen some usage in Hispanic communities and among families seeking biblical names with a contemporary feel. The name carries a sense of distinction while remaining pronounceable and familiar-sounding to most English speakers, offering a balance between uniqueness and accessibility.

  4. Emmaleigh
    • Description:

      Emmaleigh is a feminine name that represents a modern, elaborated spelling of the classic Emma. Combining the timeless Emma (meaning 'universal' or 'whole' from its Germanic origins) with the trendy '-leigh' suffix, this name exemplifies the contemporary preference for traditional names with distinctive spellings. The addition of 'leigh' instead of 'lee' or 'ly' gives the name a more elaborate, ornate quality that many parents find appealing. While not among the most common names, Emmaleigh has gained some traction in the early 21st century as parents seek familiar-sounding names with unique written forms. The name maintains the warmth and classic feel of Emma while offering the individuality of its spelling variation, making it both recognizable and distinctive.

  5. Epik

    • Description:

      Epik is a new word name used by Princess Love and Ray J for their baby boy. Fifteen baby boys were named Epic, the usual spelling of the word, last year, so maybe Epik is to Epic as Erik is to Eric. While Epic in the classic sense refers to a long narrative poem, today it's more likely a slang word used in place of grand or amazing.

As word names and spiritual names become more popular, the attractive Epiphany becomes a more viable choice.

      Glory sounds fresh and uplifting and a lot more modern than Gloria (which is definitely feeling the stirrings of a revival, though some might still view it as a terminal Old Lady name). Glory, as in "Glory Be" and "Old Glory," has both a religious and a patriotic flavor.
  15. God'iss
    • Origin:

      Modern invented name
