Girls names meaning luck

I'm looking for names meaning luck or something similar. I can't use Felicity as I know too many, Mazelle is out people hate it, what is everyone's thoughts on Saida?? Also I'm trying to stay away from Hope and Faith as I already know a little Hope and a little Faith really well.

Clover?

Does it have to mean Lucky exactly, or would fortunate do?

Nessa means miracle

Jade?

KatsuKatsu · 30/03/2022 11:21

Maybe it would be easier if DH finds names he likes and you find names you like then cross reference them and find the meanings of the ones you both like?

I like Clover, Gwyneth, and Beatrice bit DH does not

scandihouse · 30/03/2022 12:15

I actually know someone called Lucky

Elysant · 30/03/2022 12:22

Laetitia or Letizia means happy
Felicity
Freya means lady, Martha & Despina both means lady
Delyth means pretty, apparently it is elaboration of Welsh word for pretty
Calista/Callisto means most beautiful
Dorothea and Theodora both means gift from god

Good luck
