Some families want a name that comes with company — a woman already walking ahead of their daughter, whose feast day lands on the calendar and whose story can be told at bedtime. That is what draws parents to Saint girl names, and the great classical ones have never really left. Catherine is the scholar-saint name, formal and unshakably elegant. Helena belongs to the mother of the emperor Constantine. Monica is remembered as the mother of Augustine, and Frances carries the whole Franciscan tradition in a name that sounds like a favorite aunt.

The rarer entries are where this list becomes genuinely interesting. Chiara is the Italian form of Clare, for Clare of Assisi, and it is one of the loveliest sounds on the page. Bridget brings Ireland and its beloved Brigid with it. Colette is French, small and chic. Agnes and Barbara are due for the revival that has already lifted so many of their contemporaries, while Marcella, Martina and Tatiana give you the same devotional roots with a warmer, more modern finish.

Every name below opens to its full page — a sourced meaning, the tradition behind it, its U.S. popularity, and a clear audio pronunciation so you can hear it before you fall for it.
