Easter
“From the Old English Ēastre, the name of a spring festival that the monk Bede associated with an Anglo-Saxon goddess of dawn and spring (possibly related to the Proto-Germanic *austrō meaning "dawn, east"). The name also overlapped with the Christian feast of the Resurrection, absorbing its associations. As a given name, Easter was used in African American communities to mark children born near the feast.”
Bradly
“A variant spelling of Bradley, from the Old English Brādlēah, meaning "broad meadow" or "broad clearing" — from brād ("broad") and lēah ("meadow," "clearing," or "woodland clearing"). Bradley became a common English surname from the medieval period and transferred to given-name use in the 19th century. The Bradly spelling is a simplified American variant that drops one L.”
Kyleigh
“A modern variant spelling of Kylie or Kiley, from the Australian Aboriginal word kiley meaning "boomerang" in some interpretations, or alternatively an Irish Gaelic place name from the word caol meaning "narrow, slender". The spelling variant emerged in American usage, combining the sound of Kyle and Kylie with a decorative suffix.”
Ferne
“A variant spelling of Fern, from the Old English fearn, the name of the flowerless woodland plant (class Pteridophyta). Fern was adopted as a feminine given name in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as part of the fashion for nature-derived names. The -e ending of Ferne gives it a slightly more antique or romantic visual quality, consistent with the style of names like Blanche, Grace, and Flore in the same era.”
Furman
“From the English surname Furman, possibly derived from the Old English forman meaning "ferryman" or from a Germanic root meaning "leader, foremost man" (related to the German Fuhrmann meaning "coachman, driver"). The surname became a given name in American usage, particularly in the American South, often used to honor family surnames.”
Hailey
“A modern spelling variant of Hayley, derived from the Old English place name Hægleah, meaning "hay meadow" or "clearing in a hay-field" — from hæg ("hay" or "hedged enclosure") and leah ("meadow" or "clearing"). Hayley became a given name in the 1960s through the English actress Hayley Mills, and the Hailey spelling grew to be the most popular American variant in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.”
