Kindness and Other Virtues

My favourite names that mean gentleness, kindness, patience, forgiveness, and other good virtues that come from countless backgrounds.
  1. Iman
    • Mattea
      • Origin:

        Italian, from Hebrew
      • Meaning:

        "gift of God"
      • Description:

        This pretty, international feminization of Matthew was chosen by Mira Sorvino for her daughter, Mattea Angel. As the Spanish Mateo and the Italian Matteo become more popular for baby boys throughout Europe, the English-speaking world, and the Americas, Mattea is sure to get wider recognition. And as Theo and Thea have become fashionable names, Teo and Tea are rising too.
    • Maghfira
      • Noah
        • Origin:

          Hebrew
        • Meaning:

          "rest, repose"
        • Description:

          Noah is nearly a patriarch of popular baby names at this point, going from Old Testament graybeard to Top 10 name in 2009, hitting Number 1 in 2013, and now settled into second place in the US for five years.
