The Beginning of the End

Thanks to the website Nameberry for hosting the blogger Elea (from British Baby Names) which is where I got several names for today. A few from the blog Marginamia as well. One more day to finish our series of 2014 names this year. Which is why today is only the Beginning of the End, and not the actual End.


GIRLS


A-da-lal  - Babylonian,

Beryan -

Busy-

Chesten - Cornish form of Christine

Dahlov-

Eia - pronounced 'EE ah'

Emblyn - Cornish form Emmeline

Eseld - Cornish form of Isolde, pronounced 'eh ZELD'

Ferebee-

Kaoru - Japanese, meaning "fragrant"".

Kayna

Lowe-

Mabyn

Majlinda - Albanian, meaning "born in May".

Melpomene - Greek

Meraud - Cornish, according to britishbabynames.com it comes from either "mor" meaning "sea" or "mawr" meaning "great" and "budd" meaning "benefit" or "profit" and is pronounced "MEH red".  Which is nice to know as I was saying it "muh RAWD" and so when I saw the possible etymology that it came from the name Emeraud, meaning Emerald, that seemed possible. britishbabynames.com also lists the variant Merouda.

Newlyna - Cornish, a saint, whose name is also spelled Newlina. It may mean "open or naked lake" (noath lyn) or "the new pond" (nowth lyn). 

Nickaela-

Osma-

Raquildis - Germanic, "fighting princess".

Rumi- Japanese, from "ruri" or "ru" and "mi" meaning "beautiful lapis lazuli".

Vaetild - Norse, 'mother of the Skraeling children'.

Branek or Branok - Cornish

Breok - pronounced "bree OK"

Cador - Cornish, meaning 'warrior' and pronounced 'CAD ur'.

Clether

De

Eteocles - Greek, derived from Etewoklewes, meaning "truly glorious". Wikipedia mentions the name Tawagalawas (a Hittite version of the name) and perhaps the name was Hittite originally?

Jowan - Cornish form of John.

Keneder - 'bold chief', pronounced "ken ED er".

Kenver - Cornish, meaning 'great  chief'

Madern

Margh - Cornish form of Mark.

Nao-

NOT SURE WHICH GENDER

Am-ma-ar-ilu - Babylonian, meaning "I see god"

A-sha-ri-du - Babylonian

Bel-iz-zu - Babylonian, "Bel is terrible".

Ili-duri - Babylonian, "my god is my stronghold".

All good things come with time. I came across the book Patronymica Cornu-Britannica on Google Books, which provided the origin for Newlyna.
