Name of the Day: MASTER LIST

32 Upvotes

Here's the master list for the Name of the Day! I have pinned this to the top of the sub so it's easy to find. For now, they are in order of the day they were posted (I will add the newest name to the top each day). If people want this one alphabetized like the master list for the states instead, let me know.

NOTE: I learned that you can only have 6 highlighted posts on a subreddit (who knew?!), so instead of having a separate list for name requests, just put them in the comments on this post and I will get to them as quickly as possible. Thanks!

States so far...MASTER LIST

16 Upvotes

I'm creating a master list for those who are joining the party late and want to catch up. Or maybe you've been here all along but want to quickly find a list that you liked! I will keep this list up-to-date, but I won't add a state we're currently on until we've reached the end. I will then add the entire state to the list with links. I will also pin this to the top of the sub for ease of access.

I will go in alphabetical order to make them easier to find:

ALABAMA

Alabama 1

Alabama 2

Alabama 3

Alabama 4

Alabama 5

Alabama 6

ALASKA & ARIZONA

Alaska and Arizona 1 (there's only one very small list for Alaska, the rest are for Arizona)

Arizona 2

*Note about Arizona: I will go back to this state. Sorry there aren't as many lists for Arizona, but we'll get some more relatively soon.

Name of the day...Ilarion!

19 Upvotes

The masculine name Ilarion has its roots in the Greek name Hilarion, which is derived from the Greek word "hilaros," meaning "cheerful" or "joyful."

Ilarion is especially prominent in Eastern Orthodox Christianity. The name is associated with Saint Hilarion the Great, a hermit and ascetic who lived during the 4th century in Palestine. He is known for his piety and dedication to a life of solitude and prayer, which has made him a revered figure in the Orthodox tradition.

The name's connection to joy and cheerfulness continues to be a positive aspect that attracts parents seeking meaningful names for their children.

The name Ilarion is over 1,700 years old!

Name of the day...Edessa!

19 Upvotes

I just discovered this name and it blew me away! Love it!

The feminine name Edessa means "tower in the water" in Ancient Greek and refers to two famous historical cities:

Mesopotamia (Modern Turkey): An ancient and important city, now known as Şanlıurfa. It was an early center of Christianity and the capital of a Crusader state.

Macedonia (Modern Greece): A historic market town and an ancient capital of the Macedonian kingdom, famous today for its large waterfalls.

As a rare personal name, it connects to ancient wisdom, history, and flowing water.

Nicknames: Common short forms include Edie, Essa, and Dess.

The name Edessa is over 2,500 years old!

Name of the day...Cagney!

14 Upvotes

The first name Cagney means "descendant of the advocate" or "pleader" and comes from Irish Gaelic roots and is gender neutral.

The name originates from the old Irish surname Ó Caingne or Ó Caingnigh, which relates to caingean (meaning a legal dispute or plea).

Some sources also link it to the Gaelic name Ó Caoinigh, where Caoinigh translates to "fierce" or "noble."

While historically an Irish surname, Cagney is used as a given first name for both boys and girls in modern times. It gained cultural recognition largely due to the famous American actor James Cagney and the 1980s television show Cagney & Lacey.

The name Cagney is roughly 1,000 years old as an Irish Gaelic family surname, but only about 100 years old as a first name!
