A Abigail-- From Hebrew avigail meaning fathers rejoicing A biblical name - photo 2

A

Abigail-- From Hebrew avigail, meaning fathers rejoicing. A biblical name; borne in the Old Testament by the wife of King David (1 Samuel). Abigail refers to herself so often as Davids handmaiden, that the name came to be synonymous with maid. Diminutives: Abbey, Abbie, Abby, Abi, Gail, Gale, Gayle.
Ada-- Origin uncertain; possibly from the Old German names Eda or Etta, or a diminutive of Adah, Adela, Adelaide or Adeline. The name was borne by a 7th-century abbess of Saint-Julien-des-Prs at Le Mans. It was first introduced to Britain from Germany in the 18th century.
Adela-- Old German, from athal, noble. First introduced to Britain by the Norman invaders, it was borne by one of the daughters of William I. Diminutives: Addie, Addy, Della. Variations: Adele, Adeline.
Adelaide-- Norman French version of Adelheid, an Old German name derived from athal, noble, and heid, state of. It was borne in the 10th century by the wife of Otto the Great, Holy Roman Emperor, who ruled as regent after his death. The name was popularised in Britain by the wife of William IV, after whom the capital city of South Australia was named. Diminutives: Addie, Addy. See also: .
Adrienne-- French feminine form of Adrian. Variations: Adrianne, Adriana, Adrianna.
Africa-- Actually ancient Irish Gaelic, a version of Aifric (meaning pleasant). It is now more often connected with the continent and is sometimes given to Afro-American women in recognition of their ancestral homeland.
Agatha-- Greek, from agathos, good. Borne by a 3rd-century martyr who was tortured and murdered at Catania in Sicily. She is sometimes depicted in paintings holding a salver containing her severed breasts. Her feast day is 5th February. The name underwent a popular revival in the 19th century, but is rarely found in modern times. Diminutives: Aggie, Aggy.
Agnes-- Greek, from hagnos, chaste, holy. Borne by a young Roman girl who was martyred on the orders of Diocletian at the age of just 13, in c. 304. She had refused several offers of marriage, declaring herself to be devoted to Christ, and is regarded as the patron saint of virgins. Her feast day is 21st January. There is a custom that if young girls follow an elaborate routine on St Agnes Eve they will dream of their future husband. John Keats wove the superstition into his poem The Eve of St Agnes (1820). Diminutives: Aggie, Aggy, Ness, Nessa, Nesta. Variations: Angeta (Northern European), Anis, Annes, Annice, Annis, Inez, Senga.
Ailsa-- Modern Scottish, originating from Ailsa Craig, an island in the Firth of Clyde. Diminutive: Ailie.
Aime-- French, the past participle form of aimer, to love, meaning beloved. In use since the Middle Ages, it is occasionally found in the English-speaking world.
Aisha-- Arabic, meaning alive, thriving or prospering. Borne by the third and favourite wife of Muhammad, daughter of Abubekr, the name is hugely popular in the Arab world. It is also fairly popular in the English-speaking world in a variety of forms, including Ayesha, first brought to attention outside the Arab world when H Rider Haggard used it in his novel She (1887) in which he gave the meaning as she who must be obeyed.
Alannah-- Irish Gaelic, from Oleanbh, an endearment meaning O my child. Variations: Alana, Alanna.
Alberta-- Feminine form of Albert. The Canadian province was named after Princess Louise Alberta, daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and wife of a governor general of Canada. Variations: Albertina, Albertine.
Alexandra-- Feminine form of Alexander. Variations: Alexa, Alexia, Alexandria, Alexandrina. Diminutives: Alex, Alexa, Alix, Lex, Lexie, Lexy, Sandie, Sandra, Sandy, Tiggy, Zandra.
Alexis-- Greek, from alexios, to defend or to ward off. Originally a masculine name, it was borne by a 13th-century saint of the Russian Orthodox church, the patron saint of hermits and beggars. His feast day is 17th July. The name is now in regular use throughout the English-speaking world, for both boys and girls. Variations: Alexa, Alexia.
Alice-- Old French, originally a common adaptation of Adelaide, but recognised as a name in its own right by the time of its 19th-century revival. It was widely popularised by Lewis Carrolls Alices Adventures in Wonderland (1865). Variation: Alys.
Alison-- Old French, originally a medieval pet form of Alice. It has been consistently popular in Scotland, thus acquiring an erroneous reputation as a Scottish name. Variations: Allison, Allyson, Alyson.
Amalia-- Variation of Amelia.
Amanda-- From Latin amanda, the female gerundive of amare, meaning lovable. It was probably a 17th-century coinage, by the playwright Colley Cibber. Diminutives: Manda, Mandi, Mandie, Mandy.
Amelia-- The strongest element is Old German, from amal, labour, influenced by the Latin name Aemelia, the source of Emily. However, Emily is used as a diminutive for Amelia. Diminutives: Emily, Millie, Milly. Variation: Amalia.
Amina-- Arabic, meaning peaceful or secure; Amina bint-Wahab was the mother of the Prophet Muhammad. Variation: Ameena.
Amy-- Anglicised form of Aime. St Amata of Bologna was a 13th-century saint. This form was popularised by characters in Louisa M Alcotts Little Women (1868) and Sir Walter Scotts Kenilworth. Variations: Aime, Ami, Amice, Amicia.
Anastasia-- From Greek anastasis, rising up or resurrection. Borne by a Roman saint and matron said to have been beheaded with St Basilissa for having buried the bodies of St Peter and St Paul. The name is also popular in Eastern Europe, in honour of a 4th-century Dalmatian martyr. It was given to a daughter of the murdered Tzar Nicholas II of Russia; she probably died with the rest of her family in 1917, but in 1920 a woman claiming to be her came to public attention. The name is consequently often assumed to be Russian.
Andrea-- (an-dre-a, an-drey-a) Feminine form of Andreas and Andrew, probably dating from the 17th century.
Angela-- Feminine form of Angel, itself no longer considered a boys name. Diminutive: Angie. Variations: Angelina, Angeline.
Angelica
