girl names that mean 5

jenreally · March 2011

The only two I can think of that would work are Quinn or Tertia. Any others?

(This is going to be the fifth grandchild for my mom, my dad, my stepmom, DH's parents, DH's grandmother, AND my grandmother.)

I don't really care for it but, Quintessa

StrawberryAlarmClock · March 2011

Pyaterka (Russian for fifth)

Ena (Greek)

Quincy (but I think this is a m name)

Penthea

Quintina

What about, instead of a name meaning the word five, finding famous characters from literature, history, mythology, etc... and examining their fifth daughters' names.

I like Quinn, but I am not really sure that I would look for a name meaning 5 just because she is the 5th in line. It is not really my style

QUINTA: Feminine form of "fifth."
QUINTINA: Feminine form"fifth."

yeah, I hear you. We're just having some trouble finding the "perfect" name so I was trying to find some alternate inspiration.

Thanks for all the suggestions ladies! I really like the literary idea.

Maybe Quincy?

spedi · March 2011

I like Ena (from the above suggestions) the best! Ina?

Geekchick921 · March 2011

Tertia would be fourth, wouldn't it?

I like Ena. Is that pronounced Ee-nah or Ay-nah?

I like Quinn!!! I think it's cute.

Are you religious? This is a bit of a stretch but I found this which would suggest GRACE.

Five is four plus one (4+1). We have had hitherto the three persons of the Godhead, and their manifestation in creation. Now we have a further revelation of a People called out from mankind, redeemed and saved, to walk with God from earth to heaven. Hence, Redemption follows creation. Inasmuch as in consequence of the fall of man creation came under the curse and was "made subject to vanity," therefore man and creation must be redeemed. Thus we have:

Father
Son
Spirit
Creation
Redemption

These are the five great mysteries, and five is therefore the number of GRACE.

I know a girl named Quincey(sp?) Campbell(mn) and it is really cute on her. She is 7 yrs old I think.

I don't really like naming a child after a number in line. It makes me think that they are just that, a number, and not an individual, I guess.

Maybe pick a name that has five letters?

I think Tertia would mean third. And it doesn't sound pretty.

Well, if it were pronounced TER-sha, it's not bad, but you're right, tert- would mean third, like tertiary. I was thinking tetra-, which is fourth. >.<

Ooh, just had a thought, what about names that start with V, since it's the Roman numeral for 5?

How about May , as it the 5th month?

jenreally · March 2011

If she comes May 1, maybe I'll cover all my bases and name her Viola

Geekchick921 · March 2011

Yes

I kinda wanted to suggest Viola after I said V names since it has 5 letters. I love that name. Smile

This is a stretch, but when someone mentioned looking at literature for characters' 5th daughter, I thought of The Little Mermaid. In order as listed in the movie version, the 5th is Adella. Not bad at all.

*I found other info that gave guesses as to actual birth other from a prequel, and the 5th would be Arista.

Here's the song from the original movie... I'm assuming that these are in birth order, though...

Ah, we are the daughters of TritonGreat father who loves us and named us wellAquata, Andrina, Arista, Atina, Adella, AllanaAnd then there is the youngest in her musical debutOur seventh little sister, we're presenting her to youTo sing a song Sebastian wrote, her voice is like a bell

She's our sister, Ari

Ooops, hit edit too soon. This is the link I found that gives a different birth order from the song in the movie: https://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_are_Ariel's_sisters_in_Disney's_The_Little_Mermaid
