Baby Namer

ENGLISH NAMES - HEBREW & CHRISTIAN

A

Aaron
Hebrew for "shining light" or "high mountain" and Arabic for "messenger." Aaron was Moses' brother. This name has been the surprise hit of the 1980s.
Abby
Latin for "head of a monastery." A nickname for Abigail, but also nice on its own terms.
Abraham
From the Hebrew for "father of a multitude." Almost a guarantee that your child will grow up to be very wise. Bram is a nice nickname that works well on its own.
Ada
From the Hebrew for "adorned" and Latin for "of noble birth." A short, sweet palindromic name.
Adam
From the Hebrew for "earth." This is it, the original boy's name. Extremely popular in the nineteenth century; peaked again in the 1970's.
Adena
From the Hebrew for "delicate." Relatives: Adina, Adinna, Adenna.
Adolph
German for "noble wolf." For obvious reasons, its post-World War II use has been limited. Adolphus is a possibility, with Dolph the preferred nickname.
Adrian
A variation of "Hadrian," Greek for "rich" and Latin for "dark one." Very popular among popes. Sylvester Stallone gave it a seemingly permanent prefix with the line "Yo, Adrienne" in the ROCKY movies.
Agatha
Greek for "good." Agatha was a thrid-century saint. The French spelling. Agethe, livens this one up, but may present pronunciation problems.
Agnes
Latin for "lamb." Agnes was an extremely popular saint in the third century. John Keats wrote a very sensual poem of the same name in the nineteenth century.
Aida
Old English for "joyful." A grand opera by Verdi; the elephants come on stage for this one.
Alan
Gaelic for "handsome." The feminine form, Alana, is currently in vogue. The "y" variations are also an interesting choice for a girl.
Alaister
A Scottish version of Alexander. Conventionally a boy's name, occasionally used for a girl.
Albert
A German compound of "noble" and "bright." Extremely popular at the turn of the century both in this country and abroad, perhaps because of Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert.
Alexander
Greek for "protector of mankind." Extremely popular in all its forms, especially in royal circles.
Alfred
Old English for "wise cousel." Seldom used these days despite some terrific antecedents.
Alice
From the Old German for "noble" and Greek for "truth." It was Lewis Carroll's "Alice" who journeyed through Wonderland and also stepped through the looking glass.
Amber
Arabic for "yellow-brown." Making a deserved comeback, and a nice middle name, too.
Ambrose
From the Greek for "immortal." Ambrosia was the mythical drink of the gods and was thought to bring immortality to anyone who tasted it.
Amy
Latin for "beloved." One of the great names, conventional but not plain, popular but not trendy.
Anastasia
Greek for "resurrection." A very rhythmic name that conjures up images of old Russia.
Andre
French variation of "Andrew." An apropos choice if you have French antecedents, and becoming popular even among those who don't.
Anthony
From the Latin for "priceless" and Greek for "flourishing." The classic for an Italian-Ameican boy; Antonia for a girl is much less common and quite nice.
April
From the Latin for "blooming" and the spring month.
Ariel
From the Hebrew for "lion of God" and Shakespeare's sprite from THE TEMPEST. Yours will not be the only Ariel in the playground.
Arthur
Welsh for "bear hero" and shrouded in the mists of British history. A name that deserves to be more popular than it is currently.
