1. Inanna
Possibly derived from Sumerian (n)in-an-na "lady of the sky". Inanna was the Sumerian goddess of the earth, love, fertility and war. She descended into the underworld where the ruler of that place, her sister Ereshkigal, had her killed. The god Enki interceded, and Inanna was allowed to leave the underworld as long as her husband Dumuzi took her place.

2. Rosalind
Means "soft horse", derived from the Germanic elements hros "horse" and linde "soft, tender". This name was brought to England by the Normans. It was subsequently influenced by the Latin phrase rosa linda "beautiful rose". This is the name of the heroine in Shakespeare's comedy 'As You Like It'.

3. Gabriel
From the Hebrew name גַבְרִיאֵל (Gavri'el) which meant "strong man of God". Gabriel is one of the seven archangels in Hebrew tradition. He appears in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, where he serves as the announcer of the births of John to Zechariah and Jesus to Mary. According to Islamic tradition he was the angel who dictated the Qur'an to Muhammad.

4. Lily
Simply means "lily" from the name of the flower, a symbol of purity. The word is ultimately derived from Latin lilium.

5. Elijah
From the Hebrew name אֱלִיָּהוּ ('Eliyyahu) meaning "my God is YAHWEH". Elijah was a Hebrew prophet of the 9th century BC, during the reign of King Ahab and his queen, Jezebel. The two Books of Kings in the Old Testament tell of his exploits, which culminate with him being carried to heaven in a chariot of fire.

6. Hadassah
Means "myrtle tree" in Hebrew. In the Old Testament this is the Hebrew name of Queen Esther.

7. Liora
Means "my light" in Hebrew.

8. Ariel
Means "lion of God" in Hebrew. In the Old Testament it is used as another name for the city of Jerusalem. Shakespeare used it as the name of a spirit in his play 'The Tempest'. It is also borne by one of the moons of Uranus.

9. Violet
Means simply "violet" from the English word for the purple flower. It is ultimately derived from Latin viola.

10. David
Possibly derived from Hebrew דוד (dvd) meaning "beloved". David was the second and greatest of the kings of Israel, ruling in the 10th century BC. Several stories about him are told in the Old Testament, including his defeat of Goliath, a giant Philistine. Jesus was supposedly descended from him.

Famous bearers of this name include the 5th-century patron saint of Wales, two kings of Scotland, empiricist philosopher David Hume, and explorer David Livingstone. This is also the name of the hero of Charles Dickens' semiautobiographical novel 'David Copperfield'.
