  1. Nara

    • Origin:

      Japanese place name or Celtic

    • Meaning:

      "happy"

  2. Nell

    • Origin:

      English, diminutive of Helen, Eleanor, et al

    • Meaning:

      "bright, shining one"

    • Description:

      Nell, once a nickname for Helen, Ellen, or Eleanor, is a sweet old-fashioned charmer that is fashionably used today in its own right. While Nell is perfectly in tune with contemporary vintage name style, it hasn't taken off the way some of its sisters have and so maintains an air of distinction. Use Nell or Nellie as a short for any name from Eleanor to Penelope or just name her Nell.
  3. Neo

    • Origin:

      Latin or Tswana

    • Meaning:

      "new or gift"

    • Description:

      This nouveau name of Keanu Reeves's character in The Matrix has not enjoyed the same burst of popularity as its female counterpart, Trinity, but it definitely sounds, well, newer. Neo Rauch is an interesting contemporary German artist.
  4. Niel

    • Description:

      Niel is a masculine name that serves as a variant spelling of Neil or Neal. It has ancient Celtic origins, derived from the Irish name Niall, which possibly means "champion" or "cloud." This concise name carries historical significance through figures like Niall of the Nine Hostages, a legendary Irish high king. The spelling variant Niel is less common than Neil but maintains the same strong, clear sound. Popular throughout Scotland, Ireland, and other English-speaking countries, this name has endured for centuries while remaining relatively uncommon. Niel offers simplicity with meaningful heritage, making it appealing to parents seeking a traditional name that's straightforward yet distinctive. Its brevity allows it to pair well with various middle names and surnames.

  5. Noa

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "motion"

    • Description:

      This Old Testament female name has been one of the most popular girls’ names in Israel over the last decade. Also highly popular in Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands, and a new entrant to the US Top 1000, it may be misunderstood here as an attempt to streamline and feminize the more familiar Noah – although it's a separate name with a separate derivation.
