Imogen was derived by Shakespeare from the 16th-17th century Irish 'inghean', meaning daughter. Modern Irish is almost the same word, 'inion' (fada accent on second i).

The prefix ni signifying a daughter (as opposed to O or Mac) in an Irish surname is a shortening of this word.

Ceri - Welsh for loved one.

My name, I hated it growing up due to pronunciation issues but I’ve grown to really love it!

Alannah indirectly means love. It's a term of endearment.

Thanks for these suggestions, some great ones here.
I particularly like Amy, Esme and Alannah.

Amabel means beloved I think, same as Amy and other Am- beginning names. I’ve always thought Amabel was really sweet, but it would be constantly misheard as Annabel.

I know of a Swedish girl named Lovelia. Not sure if it’s a Swedish name or the parents made it up. (This is in Australia)

How about Amari? Sounds a bit like Amore? Or Carhian (Welsh) - Cariad means darling/love in Welsh.

Lalliella · 18/03/2021 12:16

Aimee. French for loved.
