I’m thinking of [name]Violet[/name] for my baby expected in [name]October[/name]. I need a middle name. I was hoping for something that means treasure or gift or loved. Something in hebrew would work too. Suggestions?
I love [name]Violet[/name]! Feminine, elegant, refined and with a lovely vintage feel.
Now, for a middle name :
[name]Amanda[/name] - ‘must be loved’.
[name]Cara[/name] - an English and [name]German[/name] name, from the Italian word meaning ‘beloved’.
[name]Carina[/name] - an Italian word, meaning ‘darling’.
[name]Carys[/name] - a Welsh name, meaning ‘love’.
[name]Dara[/name] - possibly the most international name in existence, outside of the classic [name]Anna[/name] et cetera. In Slavic languages this name means ‘gift’, but it also means ‘star’ in Khmer (the Cambodian language), either ‘wisdom’ or ‘compassion’ in Hebrew (debated origin), and is a masculine name in Persian (‘wealthy’) and Irish Gaelic (‘oak tree’).
[name]Dorothea[/name], [name]Dorothy[/name], [name]Theodora[/name] - these all mean ‘gift of God’.
[name]Esme[/name] - from the Old French, meaning ‘loved’ or ‘esteemed’.
[name]Eudora[/name] - the name of a nymph in Greek mythology, this means ‘good gift’.
[name]Freya[/name] - the Norse goddess of love.
[name]Isadora[/name] - ‘gift of [name]Isis[/name]’. Although this isn’t Hebrew, the masculine version [name]Isidore[/name] has apparently been historically common among Jewish people, which I thought could be of interest to you.
[name]Mary[/name] - one of the theories of the origin of this name is Egyptian, meaning ‘beloved’ or ‘love’.
[name]Noa[/name] - in Japanese, this means ‘love, affection’. It is also the feminine version of [name]Noah[/name].
[name]Pandora[/name] - if you can get past the negative mythological connotation, this name means ‘all gifts’.
Sigal - coincidentally, this means both ‘treasure’ and ‘violet’ in Hebrew.
Sunniva - a Norwegian name which I think could work well in the English-speaking world, it means ‘sun gift’.
[name]Takara[/name] - ‘treasure’ in Japanese, I think it translates pretty well into the English speaking world.
[name]Tanith[/name] - Phoenician goddess of love.
