Aether

Aether comes from Ancient Greek roots, meaning 'upper sky' or 'pure, fresh air'. There's something genuinely enchanting about this name—it feels like a breath of fresh air, embodying a sense of mysticism and ethereal beauty. Aether, in Greek mythology, was considered the personification of the bright, upper air that the gods breathed, setting the stage for a name that's both imaginative and otherworldly.

In terms of popularity, Aether has had an interesting journey. It made a significant leap of 2,447 spots between 2021 and 2022, reaching #7224 in 2024, which stands as its best rank so far. However, its path hasn't always been upward, as it dropped dramatically from #8836 to #10798 in just one year back in 2019. Despite these fluctuations, Aether remains a unique choice, never quite reaching the mainstream top 100.

Character-wise, Aether is perfect for parents seeking a name that feels both mystical and imaginative. It's a name that might appeal to those who are drawn to mythology or who appreciate a touch of the ethereal in their lives. With its roots in ancient lore and its modern resurgence, Aether is a name that bridges the past and present in a beautifully airy way.
