I’d love to see Olaia and Aularia / Eularia added. All three are variations of [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] / [name_f]Olalla[/name_f] that are used in Spain. Aularia and Eularia are old Catalan versions and Olaia (also spelled Olaya) is a spelling variation of [name_f]Olalla[/name_f].

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] friends!
I’m surprised Magnum isn’t on here, the Latin name, like in Magnum opus? I’ve heard it pronounced both Mag-num and Mahn-yoom.

Casper for a girl. Jason Lee has a daughter named Casper, so I think it works. That association is mentioned in the description of the name, so I was a little surprised it wasn’t listed as a girl name.

I was really curious to see which language or tribe of origin the word was from and I stumbled across this cool article (Searching for the Meaning of Iowa: Word Roots, Prairie Roots (Blog) | Cedar Falls, IA Patch)!
(tl;dr for those just scrolling)
The way to the meaning of the word Iowa is through the Ioway. Ioway is the French transcription of Ayuway, which is what the Illini and Meskwaki called the tribe. The roots of this word only get more twisted. Ayuway is actually an alteration of what the Dakota called the tribe: Ayuxba (AH-you-khbah), which is believed to mean “sleepy ones.” Ayuxba to Iowa: the “sleepy ones.”
Makes me wonder just how many other words have been given altered meanings by non-Native Americans, especially since so many names of US states originated from different Indigenous American languages!
Sorry this is so off topic it just interested my inner history nerd so I thought I’d share!
