    • Meaning:

      "beautiful"
    • Description:

It was one of the fastest rising girl names of the year in 2016, then again in 2023.

That makes Charlie one of the most popular unisex names around today. The name Charlie, for females, has been jumping up the charts since it reappeared, after a 50-year hibernation, in 2005.
  13. Leonora
    • Origin:

      Italian diminutive of Eleonora or Eleanor, meaning unknown

      Surname derived from Nicholas or Colin
    • Meaning:

      "people of victory or pup"
    • Description:

      Latin
    • Meaning:

      "young ceremonial attendant"
