Three Syllable Girl Names

When pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable, Emari is considered a variation of Emery, a stylish unisex name common among baby girls. But in most cases, Emari is used as an alternate spelling of Amari, which emphasizes the second syllable. Both Amari and Emari are pretty evenly matched between the sexes, each with a slight edge for boys.

In geography, a meridian is a line drawn around the curve of the Earth between the North and South Poles. The term comes from Latin meridianus, meaning "pertaining to midday", and the association with midday has led to the word gaining an added figurative meaning of "pinnacle; culmination".

A fresh and pretty Japanese name which would be an unusual route to the popular Emmy/Emi nickname. In Japanese, this name can be formed from a variety of different kanji combinations with different meanings, but "laughing child" and "beautiful child" are two appealing possibilities.

Aubrianna, along with Aubriella, is an elaboration of a perfectly good if too trendy name, Aubrey. The final -anna or -ana or -ella does not improve on the original. But A names of all kinds continue to appeal to the masses.

Dahlia is getting more visible, and so Dahliana feels more plausible.

Hadisa is a gorgeous Arabic name that is the feminine equivalent of the male name Hadith, referring to the collection of the sayings or traditions of the Prophet Muhammad in Islam.

Eliana is a multicultural name, popular in the US, the UK, The Netherlands, France and Brazil. With the popular nickname Ellie and the classic sounds of Anna and Eleanor, it is no wonder this name has caught on.

Peaceful and melodic, but a bit pretentious.

Another spin on the mega-popular Adeline names, which could stop any confusion about whether the ending is said lyn, line, or leen. This form peeked in 2016 when it nearly made the US Top 300, however, it was one of the fastest falling names in 2023, and now sits in the latter end of the Top 1000. We recommend the classic Adeline or Adaline or the more streamlined Adelyn.

The feminine form of Amir, a soft and regal baby name popular in the Muslim community.

A pretty and almost unique word name to add to the galaxy of astral appellations. More distinctive than the better-known Celeste, it was given to only 20 girls last year. Celestial is also the title of several band albums, and is heard in the video game and comics worlds.

A possible Born Again name -- Amen -- in the same class as the still-popular Nevaeh (that's Heaven spelled backwards) and Trinity.

Talila is a pretty and novel name, somewhere between Talia and Tallulah.

Lorina is a fanciful name that comes to us via Alice in Wonderland. Lorina was one of Alice's sisters. Such names that are really diminutives feel old-fashioned today, the strong and classic Laura being preferable. But if you're looking for either unique baby names or girl names starting with L, you might want to add Lorina to your list.

While many are familiar with the Hebrew name Naomi through the Biblical character, the name also has separate roots as a unisex Japanese name meaning "straight and beautiful." Variation Nahomi is rising in use for girls, potentially due to Japanese footballer Nahomi Kawasumi who plays for the American soccer team NJ/NY Gotham FC.

This ancient name, belonging to a Byzantine empress, may be difficult to wear. The English variation Tiffany may be more wearable.

This feminine form of Damian projects a positive and lilting image, a distinct contrast to its male counterpart.
