Featured in baby name books
Adam
Adam is a Hebrew name meaning “man” and tied to the word for earth, often rendered “of the red earth.” In the Bible, Adam was the first man, formed from dust and placed in Eden with Eve as his partner.
Agnes
Agnes is a Greek name meaning “pure,” “chaste,” or “holy,” and its closeness to the Latin word for lamb strengthens its religious associations. Once among America’s most popular names a century ago, Agnes is now seen as old-fashioned, though some think it is due for a comeback; Inez and Agnese are international forms.
Alexander
Alexander is a Greek name meaning “defender of men” or “protector,” with countless forms worldwide, including Alessandro, Alejandro, Alistair, and Sasha. Alexander the Great made the name a byword for strength and leadership, and it has never been more popular; other famous bearers include Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
Alexandra
Alexandra is the feminine form of Alexander, from Greek, meaning “defender” or “protector of mankind.” Alexandra has long had a royal, somewhat upper-crust air, associated with Princess Alexandra of Denmark and with Queen Victoria, whose given name was Alexandrina.
Angela
Angela comes from Greek and means “messenger of God” or “angel,” with forms such as Angelina, Angelique, and the Irish Aingeal, and Angie as a nickname. Famous bearers include actresses Angela Lansbury and Angela Bassett and German chancellor Angela Merkel.
Barbara
Barbara means “foreign” or “stranger,” traced to Greek or Latin and sharing roots with the word “barbarian.” Barbara once carried real glamour through Barbara Stanwyck and Barbra Streisand, but it peaked around the 1950s and now feels like a parents’ generation name.
Christine
Christine is Greek-rooted and means “anointed,” a feminine form of Christian. Christine is also given the meaning “follower of Christ,” with Christina and Christiana as related spellings.
Daphne
Daphne is Greek for “laurel tree.” In myth, Daphne was a nymph changed into a laurel tree to escape Apollo's advances.
Dennis
Dennis means “follower of Dionysus,” the Greek god of wine and revelry. St. Denis is France's patron saint, where the name is very popular as Denis.
Dora
Dora is a Greek name meaning “gift,” and it is also a short form of Theodora. The biblical city of Dor, or Dora, was a Canaanite coastal town whose king Joshua defeated.
Ellen
Ellen began as a form of Helen, meaning “light” or “shining,” and has long been a name in its own right. Some find Ellen too plain, but it has the quiet appeal of a simple staple that subtle-minded parents appreciate.
Esther
Esther is usually traced to Persian and means “star,” possibly linked to the goddess Ishtar. Esther is also tied to the Hebrew Hadassah, meaning “myrtle,” the queen’s original name.
Irene
Irene is a Greek name meaning “peace,” after the goddess of peace, with Irena and Irina as popular variants. Irene was borne by a fourth-century saint and a Byzantine empress, and stayed popular until the mid-twentieth century; its variants are now more common.
Iris
Iris is Greek for “rainbow,” and is also a flower name. In Greek myth Iris was the rainbow goddess who carried messages between heaven and earth; the stylized iris is the fleur-de-lis of France.
Julia
Julia comes from the Roman clan name Julius and means “young” or “youthful.” Julia is also read as “soft-haired.”
Julius
Julius is a Roman clan name meaning “young” or “youthful,” with “soft-haired” also given. In Acts, the centurion Julius treated the prisoner Paul kindly and stopped soldiers from killing the prisoners after a shipwreck.
Lisa
Lisa began as a short form of Elizabeth, Hebrew for “God is my oath” or “pledged to God.” Lisa rarely stood alone before the 1930s, then ruled as the top girl’s name through most of the 1960s before fading as parents turned to Liza or Libby.
Lucas
Lucas means “man from Lucania,” a region in southern Italy, with Luke and Lukas as forms. Lucas is also linked to “light” or “luminous.”
Lydia
Lydia is Greek for “woman from Lydia,” an ancient region of Anatolia famed for its wealth. In Acts, Lydia is a businesswoman selling purple cloth who became Paul’s first convert in Macedonia; Protestants widely used the name in the 1600s.
Maria
Maria is the Latin and Mediterranean form of Mary, meaning “bitter,” or “star of the sea.” Deeply traditional yet modern-sounding, Maria evokes The Sound of Music, West Side Story, and “Ave Maria”; it was also the name of a wife of Muhammad.
Martha
Martha is an Aramaic name meaning “lady” or “mistress of the house.” In the Gospels Martha is the busy sister of Mary and Lazarus who served Jesus while her sister sat and listened.
Michael
Michael is a Hebrew name posing the question “who is like God,” and is the name of an archangel. Michael is the archangel who protects Israel in Daniel and leads heaven’s angels against the devil in Revelation; he is also patron saint of soldiers and appears in the Koran.
Peter
Peter comes from the Greek Petros, “rock,” and has countless international forms, including Pierre, Pedro, Pyotr and Pieter. The apostle Peter, a Galilean fisherman born Simon, was renamed by Jesus as the rock of his church and is regarded as the first pope.
Sandra
Sandra began as a short form of Alexandra (or Alessandra) and means “defender” or “helper of mankind.” A forgotten novel, Sandra Belloni, launched it as a standalone name; it peaked from the 1940s to 1960s, and the French Sandrine may give it new life.
Simon
Simon is a Hebrew name meaning “God hears” or “to listen,” closely related to Simeon. The New Testament has many Simons, including Simon Peter and Simon the Canaanite among the apostles, and Simon of Cyrene, who carried Jesus’s cross.
Thaddeus
Thaddeus is an Aramaic name meaning “brave” or “having heart,” with variants such as Taddeo, Tadeo, and Thad. Thaddeus was one of Christ’s apostles, sometimes called Jude Thaddeus; it is uncommon without being odd, and the nicknames Tad and Taddy feel preppy.
Theodore
Theodore is a Greek name meaning “God’s gift,” with nicknames such as Ted, Teddy, and Theo and foreign forms like Fyodor and Teodoro. The name was boosted by President Theodore Roosevelt, who inspired the teddy bear.
Thomas
Thomas is an Aramaic name meaning “twin,” with Tom and Tommy as nicknames and forms such as Tomás, Tomasz, and Tamas around the world. The apostle Thomas refused to believe in the Resurrection until he could touch Christ’s wounds, giving rise to the phrase “doubting Thomas,” and his fame spread the name from the Middle Ages on.
Tobias
Tobias is a Hebrew name meaning “God is good,” with Toby as its classic nickname and Tobiah and Tobin as related forms. In the Book of Tobit, Tobias travels with the angel Raphael, defeats a demon, and marries Sarah.
Vanessa
Vanessa was invented by Jonathan Swift for his poem “Cadenus and Vanessa,” combining part of Esther Vanhomrigh’s surname with a nickname for Esther. Vanessa is also connected to the Greek word for “butterfly,” and it is the name of a butterfly genus that contains the Red Admiral and the Painted Lady.
