Nalani: Some names just drip with divinity and are too good to pass up! Nalani, pronounced nah-LAH-nee, is such a sweet baby name choice filled with great power. The origin oft he name is Hawaiian language and it means “the heavens». Nalani also means “chief,” proving girls can in fact run the world. Back to the meaning «the heavens» – OMG how beautiful it that?! I feel like it’s kind of the name Angel, but more modest, as it doesn’t jump on you right away, only if you google the meaning, you will see what a beautiful meaning it has. It’s also possible to spell the Name in other variations: Nalanie or Nalany. I haven’t found a celebrity with the name Nalani, which makes it a really rare name. I think so far this name is really only use in Hawaii or Hawaiians.
Fleur: The name Fleur is used by the French word for flower. Fleur is the French variant of the girl’s name Flora. Flora is the name of the ancient Roman goddess of spring and comes from the Latin. By the way, Flora is also a very nice name. In Albania, where my husband originally comes from, the name Vlora (spoken Flora) is widespread. It very feminine name as I think. Of course you could also name your daughter after a certain flower, like Rose, Daisy, Iris, Jasmin or Viola, but to give her just the name Fleur is equally beautiful. When I hear Fleur, I automatically think of Fleur Delacour, from Harry Potter, who later becomes Bill’s wife. There is also Fleur de Force, which is a Youtube-personality and makeup artist from England.
Felia: The name Felia is the short form of the name Ophelia, derived from the ancient Greek word “ophelus”. Ophelus means “the helping one” but there is also a Latin meaning, which is “the happy one”. So both meanings, are very different from each other but still very beautiful. What is also very beautiful about Felia, is that you can change the pronunciation depending on the spelling. With the spelling Felia, you would pronunce it with a a long drawn e. But you could also write Feliah, which would make the a long drawn. Say it out lound once, sounds beautiful! There was a Russian ballet dancer, Felia Doubrovska. After completing her studies at the Imperial Ballet School in St. Petersburg, Felia Doubrovska performed with the legendary “Ballets Russes” which made her famous.
Quila: Quila means “The ruling from the gods’ ground” -wow how beautiful, isn’t it? This name also exists in tens of spellings: Quilah, Quyla, Quylla, Quella (English), Quellah, Quilla, Quillah. In my research, I found out that there is a mountain in a wooded region of the Mexican state of Jalisco, which bears the name “Sierra de Quila”. An old mexican lady told me, that Quila is a very special name, not a lot of babies where given, because those who given the name grow to be strong, reliable, and unique. She told me, that the parents feel if the baby can meet this name and often reject the idea with this name because of that. That was so interesting that I had to put that one on the list! Do you know somebody named Quila, if yes does she justice with those characteristics?
Philin: Philin is a female first name of Greek origin and is derived from the Greek words « philein, philéo », which is meaning “the friendly one» or «the lovable one”. Everybody would love to have a name with a meaning this flattering. It is also means “love », « caress” and “kisses”. Philine, Philina, or Philia, are some different varieties you can write Philin. The male counterpart would be Philipp (which also comes in like 100 different writting versions). One of the most prominent names bearers is a figure in Goethe’s novel “Wilhelm Meister’s apprenticeship”. WHAT you have never read this??? Yeah, me neither! But hey, a little useless knowledge never hurts. After all, you now can indicate if you should see a Philin, like: “Oh exactly, your name features in this piece of writing from Goethe, right?” Let us know in the comments what you think about these names for your baby girl!
