Farrow (u) [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]English[/name_f] surname, meaning “ironworker”. I think this would make a nice addition to the surname as first name trend.

@tallemaja[name_f][/name_f] Thank you!
A few more I’ve noticed weren’t here:
Hephaestion / Hephaistion — Greek meaning “of Hephaestus” or just another variation of Hephaestus itself, meaning unknown. The most notable wearer was the best friend and purported lover of Alexander the Great.
Sparling — word name used to refer to a smelt (a fish), samlet (a baby salmon), sea-swallow, or baby sparrow. It is also a surname, notably that of Rebecca Sparling and Edward J. Sparling. Possibly comes from middle English or old French, from an older Germanic language word meaning “muscle; to spar”
Ruaidhrí – Irish meaning “red king”. Variant of Ruairi and Rory.
Zeth — variant of Seth, meaning “appointed; placed” in Hebrew. Could also be from Egyptian as a variation of Seth / Set / Setukh of unknown meaning.
Deianeira — Greek meaning “to slay men; slayer of men”. Most notably worn by the wife of Herakles (Hercules) who poisoned him accidentally. Variant of Deianira
Agravain / Agravaine — the name of one of King Arthur’s (from Arthurian legend) nephews. Meaning and origin unknown.
Chryseis — derived from Chryses; Greek meaning “Golden”. She was the daughter of a priest of Apollo in the Iliad and often conflated with Briseis.
Some names I’ve been looking at!!
Ilarion (b) - Alternate spelling of the name Illarion, meaning joyous or happy. Famously borne by many Slavic, Ukrainian, Russian, and Romanian figures
Nareen (g) - A Persian name that means “rosy” or “fresh”
Heliodora (g) - A Greek name meaning “gift of the sun”, commonly used in Polish history. Also the name of a poem by Hilda Doolittle
Some more Native American names:
[name_f][/name_f]Algoma (f): A name of Native American (possibly invented from a mashup of Algonquin words, Potawatomi, Ojibwe, Chickasaw, and/or unknown tribe) origin possibly meaning “snow shoe”, “park/valley of flowers”, and/or “God abides”. Algoma, though it is the name of several places in the US and [name_f]Canada[/name_f], has an uncertain past. Some believe that it was invented by American geographer [name_m]Henry[/name_m] Schoolcraft and that it is a combination of the [name_m]Al[/name_m]- prefix (specifically taken from the word Algonquin) and the Algonquin suffix -gamaa, which means “lake”. Other sources say that Algoma is a variant of the Ojibwe Agimaa and the Potawatomi Egema, both of which mean “snow show”. A popular meaning is “park of flowers” or “valley of flowers” and is said to be of Native American origin, though which tribe is not specified. Lastly, Algoma may be a Chickasaw word meaning “God abides”.
[name_f][/name_f]Alsoomse (f): A name of Native American (possibly Algonquin) origin meaning “independent”.
[name_f][/name_f]Amadahy (f): A name of Native American (Cherokee) origin meaning “forest water”.
[name_f][/name_f]Amitola (f): A name of Native American (Zuni, [name_m]Dakota[/name_m], and Omaha, among others) origin meaning “rainbow”. Amitola may specifically be derived from Amitolane, which is the name of a rainbow spirit from the [name_f]Zuni[/name_f] culture.
[name_f][/name_f]Anaba (f): A name of Native American (possibly Navajo) origin meaning “she returns from battle”. According to the Nameberry entry for unrelated, yet similar, Arabic name [name_f]Anabia[/name_f], Anaba is also a name of Arabic origin meaning [name_f][/name_f] "one who made repentance and turned to Allah”.
[name_f][/name_f]Angeni (f): A name of Native American (unknown tribe, possibly used by multiple) origin meaning “angel”. If your baby girl is angelic, but you think [name_m]Angel[/name_m] is too blunt and find [name_f]Angelica[/name_f] to be too closely associated with the toddler bully in Rugrats, Angeni could be what you’re looking for.
[name_f][/name_f]Aponi (f): A name of Native American (Pima and possibly Siksika) origin meaning “butterfly”.
[name_f][/name_f]Aquene (f): A name of Native American (unknown tribe) origin meaning “peace”.

[name_f][/name_f]Etenia (f): A name of Native American (unknown tribe) origin meaning “wealthy”.
[name_f][/name_f]Eyota (u): A name of Native American (Dakota) origin meaning “greatest, most”.
[name_f][/name_f]Genesee (f): A name of Native American (Seneca) origin meaning “beautiful valley, pleasant valley”. Genesee is the name of many places in [name_m]North[/name_m] [name_f]America[/name_f], most notably the Genesee [name_m]River[/name_m].

It’s more commonly feminine but also well-used as a masculine name. The alternative spelling [name_f]Shree[/name_f] is already in the database.

Aberforth[name_f][/name_f] (m) – variant of Aberford[name_f][/name_f], a village in [name_m]West[/name_m] Yorkshire, which means “Eadburg’s ford” in Old [name_f]English[/name_f].
