Whether you prefer timeless choices or trendy picks, E-names offer a range of options that convey strength, grace, and a unique personality. E is the second vowel and fifth letter in English and is widely used across Czech, Danish, French, and German languages. The letter holds profound symbolism in Biblical narratives, representing divine creation, existence, and God's enduring presence and power (1). This symbolism is evident in Biblical names like Ethan, of Hebrew origin, meaning ‘strong’ or ‘firm,’ and consistently ranking among the top 100 names in the US over the last two decades (2). For those drawn to shorter yet impactful names, the old Norse name Eric, meaning ‘eternal ruler,’ could be trendy. Popularized by Eric Arthur Blair, more famously known as George Orwell, the British novelist, Eric has maintained its popularity over decades in the US (2).

As you begin naming your little one, consider the significance of E-names and how they fulfill your values and aspirations. Please go through our comprehensive list of E names below to find the perfect choice.
