What's in a female name? No matter what country or culture, girls' names often have similar meanings. A female name often has a meaning related to beauty, intelligence, or faithfulness.
Female names used by unusual historical figures are common, as are names of empresses, queens, and other noblewomen. Religious girls' names are not as well-represented in religious texts as boys' names, but they are used just as often in naming children.
Girls are sometimes named after family members, but this is not a strong tradition. Some parents choose a female name based on its sound rather than its meaning; in many languages, the ending of a name determines whether the overall name sounds feminine.
