There's just something so lovely about baby girl names that end with the letter "a." The names tend to sound quite feminine and soft even, and many of them are on the shorter side, which lots of parents love. In fact, monikers that end with "a" are actually some of the top girl names in the United States and have been for a long time.
Those names are really beautiful, and we're sharing some of them here, but there are also a lot of girl names that end with the letter "a" that are less common, if you're looking for something a bit more unique. See some of our favorites below, and get ready for some awesome baby girl name inspiration.
Ava
Lyla
The name Lyla is incredibly pretty sounding. It can also be spelled Lila. It has Arabic origins and means "night, dark beauty." It's not exactly unusual, but it's not terribly common either, so your daughter isn't likely to meet someone with the same name in school.
Jenna
The name Jenna was actually originally a nickname for the name Jennifer, which comes from the Cornish name Guinivere. All that to say, Jenna is thought to mean "fair lady."
Fiona
Fiona is such a lovely name. Some of us may think of Princess Fiona from the Shrek films, which is cool, but that name actually goes much further back. It's a Celtic name that means "fair, beautiful."
Aria
We've been in love with the name Aria for years. Aria is actually the word for a particular type of song that's described as "light and airy." It's a beautiful option that's perfect for music-loving parents.
Olivia
Currently the most popular name for girls in America, Olivia is thought to mean "strong army." It also relates to the olive tree, which is known as a symbol of peace throughout the world. Literature lovers will recognize it from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.
Eliana
Eliana is a beautiful name with origins in the Latin language, in which it refers to the sun. It's also used in the Hebrew language, where it means "God has answered" or "God's gift."
