Described in English as ‘double U,’ the letter W is the twenty-third letter of the Latin alphabet. Baby girl names that start with W, such as Whitney, Wendy, and Willow, have remained among the top 1000 US names for over two decades (1). These girl names represent W’s spiritual association with joyfulness, self-expression, spontaneity, and artistic creativity.
The letter W essentially derived its recent form in the 11th century when Norman scribes reintroduced the Old English form 'uu' after its displacement by the runic ‘wyn’ in the 8th century. The roots of W can be traced back to the Phoenician letter ‘waw’ from which the Latin alphabets F, V, and Y are also derived (2).
The letter maintains its sound in most English words except in Scottish English and French where the vowel sound ‘ou’ or other closer sounds are used. For instance, West, meaning ‘evening’ or ‘direction,’ becomes Ouest, and Wilhelm, meaning ‘will-helmet,’ becomes Guillaume. W is replaced by U or V sounds in Turkish, Vietnamese, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Scandinavian languages. This restricts the usage of W-letter names across several cultures, making them rare gems. Take a look at the following list to discover several such wonderful jewels for your precious little princess.
