If you’d like to give your daughter a lovely feminine name, you’ll love the options on our list, as many of them even have the word “woman” in their descriptions.
Since 2019, names like Madelyn and Lydia have become increasingly popular in America. So much so, that as of 2024, they are both a part of the US top 100. The name Madelyn derives from the English name Magdalen, which means “woman from Magdala or high tower.” And the Greek name Lydia means “woman from Lydia.” But while the name Madelyn has recently picked up steam around the world, the name Lydia has maintained its popularity throughout the last few centuries.
Although less common than Lydia and Madelyn, names like Nora, Genevieve, and Cynthia are also a part of the US top 1,000. However, Nora and Genevieve belong to the UK top 1,000, too.
Nora, which means “woman of honor,” is a simple yet gorgeous name that comes from the Latin word “honora.” Genevive is a name of English and French origin meaning “tribe woman.” And Cynthia is a Greek name that means “moon Goddess or woman from Kynthos.”
