Ada
Ada is most often traced to German with the meaning “noble,” and can also be a short form of Adelaide. Other traditions give Ada the Hebrew meaning “adornment,” an African meaning “first daughter,” and an English meaning “joyous.”
Alina
Alina is a Slavic and Russian name related to Helen, meaning “light,” “bright,” or “beautiful,” with “nobility” also given. Alina is popular across the Slavic world, its Old English cousin Aline was used in the Middle Ages, and Alena can also serve as a short form of Magdalena.
Amelia
Amelia means “industrious” or “hardworking” and is related to Emily and Amalia, with Amélie as the French form. Amelia has an early-American sound, was very popular in the 1800s, faded in the mid-1900s, and is now back in style.
Andrea
Andrea is the feminine of Andrew, read as “courageous” and “strong” or simply “womanly.” A girls’ classic since the 1600s and especially popular from the 1950s to the 1980s, Andrea has several pronunciations, and in many European countries it is a boy’s name.
Anna
Anna is a form of Hannah and Ann, meaning “grace” or a woman favored by God. In the Gospel of Luke, Anna is an elderly widow and prophetess at the Jerusalem temple who recognized the infant Jesus as the Messiah.
Augusta
Augusta is the feminine form of Augustus, a Latin name meaning “majestic,” “great,” or “worthy of respect.” Augusta recalls the emperor Augustus, is the capital of Maine, and is the first name of the formidable Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest; Gussy is a nickname.
Aurelia
Aurelia is a Latin name meaning “golden,” the feminine form of Aurelius, with Aurélie as a French form. Aurelia was what Julius Caesar’s mother was called, and Argentina’s Juan Perón married Aurelia Tizón as his first wife.
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.
Daria
Daria is the feminine form of Darius and comes from Greek, meaning “wealthy” or “luxurious.” Daria is also read as “king” in Persian or “queenly.”
Diana
Diana comes from Latin and means “divine.” In Roman myth Diana was the goddess of the moon and the hunt, counterpart of the Greek Artemis.
Eugenia
Eugenia is the feminine form of Eugene, Greek for “well-born.” Eugenia has a royal air, borne by several royals including Princess Eugenie of York, and it is popular in Spain.
Greta
Greta is a short form of Margaret, meaning “pearl,” with Gretel and Gretchen as related forms. Greta peaked in the 1930s with Greta Garbo’s fame and suits families of Germanic or Scandinavian heritage, offering the appeal of Ava or Emma with more edge.
Ida
Ida is a Germanic name meaning “hardworking” or “industrious.” Other books give English meanings such as “youth” or “prosperous.”
Ilona
Ilona is the Hungarian form of Helen, meaning “light.” Ilona is also defined as Hungarian for “pretty” or “beautiful.”
Joanna
Joanna is a feminine version of John and carries the meaning “God is gracious” or “gift from God.” Joanna is more ornate than Jane and spunkier than Joanne, holding steady mid-pack rather than climbing.
Julia
Julia comes from the Roman clan name Julius and means “young” or “youthful.” Julia is also read as “soft-haired.”
Laura
Laura comes from Latin and means “laurel,” or “crowned with laurel.” Laurel stands for victory, distinction, and peace, worn as wreaths by Roman emperors and Olympic athletes; the name also recalls Laura of Little House on the Prairie.
Lena
Lena is a variation of Helen meaning “bright one” or “light.” Lena began as a nickname for names like Helena and Magdalena; the related Lina is Arabic for a young palm tree.
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.
Marina
Marina is Latin for “from the sea.” Marina is a fashionable Shakespearean name.
Miriam
Miriam is a Hebrew name meaning “bitter” and is a version of Mary. Miriam was the sister of Moses who watched over him in the bulrushes and later led the women in song and dance after the Red Sea crossing.
Nadia
Nadia comes from Russian and means “hope.” Nadia is the French form of Nadya, which spread in France after the Ballets Russes; in Arabic-speaking countries it means “tender.”
Nina
Nina is Spanish for “girl.” Nina began as a short form of Antonina or a nickname for Ann, and some give it the Hebrew meaning “grace of God.”
Paula
Paula is the feminine of Paul, from Latin for “small,” with relatives like Paulina, Pauline and Paola. Paula was in the top hundred from the 1950s to the early 1970s but has since dropped, while the Italian Paola has climbed.
Regina
Regina is Latin for “queen,” with relatives like Reina, Raina and Régine. Regina often honors the Virgin Mary as queen of heaven, and recalls Victoria Regina, for whom Saskatchewan’s capital is named.
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.
Sonia
Sonia is a Slavic version of Sophia, from the Greek for “wisdom,” with spellings Sonja and Sonya. Sonia became a name in its own right in the early 1900s, boosted by skater Sonja Henie and designer Sonia Rykiel, and is a quiet alternative to Sophia.
Tamara
Tamara is a Hebrew name, from the biblical Tamar, meaning “palm tree” or “date palm.” Tamara is widely used in Russia and the Balkans, and the name recalls Georgia’s canonized twelfth-century Queen Tamar; Tammy and Mara are common nicknames.
Teresa
Teresa is a Greek name meaning “harvest” or “the harvester,” possibly linked to the island of Thera, with forms such as Theresa, Therese, and Tess. The name owes much to Saint Teresa of Avila, Saint Therese of Lisieux, known as the Little Flower, and Mother Teresa, which give it a strongly Catholic feel.
Veronica
Veronica is a Latin name meaning “true image,” with Veronique and Veronika as foreign forms and Ronnie and Vera as nicknames. By legend, Saint Veronica wiped Jesus’s face with her veil as he carried the cross, and the cloth kept the image of his face, though she never appears in the Bible itself.
