  • I cannot be positive that these are legitimately of Australian Aboriginal origin as I am going purely off lists here and there all over the net and have not consulted any Indigenous Australians directly (which is also why I haven’t included meanings here). Some are based off of words which I am not entirely sure are/were used as given names.[/i]

I love combing through all of these lists I’m seeing here. :slight_smile: There are definitely some gorgeous gems in this thread that I never would have heard of anywhere else, so thank you. :smiley:
