Leona
When you think of famous girl names from the 1800s, you may quickly think of Leona. Leona means Lioness, which conveys a sense of self-confidence and strength, qualities that we all desire for our little daughters. Leona is a unique name that is also incredibly old, almost Victorian in nature. Perhaps this is why we are seeing a revival. There have been several well-known Leonas in recent years. Leona Lewis, the singer, is arguably the most well-known, but there are also Leona Helmsley, Leona Aglukkaq, and Leona Woods.

Freya
Noble, fair, and prolific were all adjectives used to describe the Norse goddess Freya. The name has evolved significantly since then, with one notable bearer being explorer and writer Freya Stark, who published over two dozen novels on her voyages. Seriously, this name is incredibly unique, and we really like it! Perhaps it’s time to restore it to its previous splendor. Other noteworthy Freyas include the beautiful politician Freya Van den Bossche, the actress Freya Stafford, and Freya von Moltke, a well-known and respected activist who fought for her beliefs until her death.
