Names Ending in "th"


There are a lot of names starting with "th", like classic Theodore and transparent Thea. Yet, there are also plenty of names that end in the same sound. 

GIRLS' NAMES:

Ardith (unranked)-Ardith was in moderate use over 75 years ago, but it wasn't common enough to date. This makes Ardith a transparent nature name that fits in with popular Isla.

Delyth (unranked)-Delyth is a Welsh name meaning "pretty". It has the same first-syllable sound as vintage Della along with the ending of the also-Welsh Gwyneth. 

Edith (#501)-Edith is a vintage charmer that has just started to come back during this past decade. Though serious, it is also cute with the combination of the long "ee" beginning and soft "ith" ending. With the birth of celebrity child Edith Pepper in 2020, I expect this one to rise in 2021.

Gwyneth (unranked)-As mentioned above, Gwyneth has the same ending sound and Welsh origin as Delyth. It also shares the same beginning sound as retro Gwendolyn, which is coming back early. Thus, it makes sense for transparent Gwyneth to start rising. 

Hyacinth (unranked)-A transparent flower name with a similar sound to Violet, Hyacinth recently entered the spotlight via a character from the Netflix series Bridgerton

Judith (#820)-Like Edith, Judith is a vintage name that is rising in use. Since it peaked at #4 in 1940, it's about time for this Biblical gem to make its fourth-generation revival. 

Lilith (#402)-This is another name ending in "th" that's on the rise. Lilith fits in with all the "Lily" names like Lily, Lillian, and Liliana. Its "ith" ending and Gothic Biblical association sets it apart from the crowd, though. That makes Lilith a transparent alternative to Scarlett and Delilah. 

Tanith (unranked)- Tanith connects to the goddess of the moon and stars and means "serpent lady". As much a dangerous renovation as Scarlett, Tanith works as a less-popular alternative along with Lilith. 

Urith (unranked)-This long-lost rarity was listed in the Dictionary of Medieval names. Now it makes a new possibility, especially in a world in which names starting with "u" are rare. 

BOYS' NAMES:

Conleth (unranked)-An Irish name once worn by a saint, Conleth makes a great alternative to Connor. It fits in with other Irish boys' names like Liam and Finn, too. 

Daveth (unranked)-The Cornish form of the classic name, Daveth can be used to honor a David. 

Griffith (unranked)-Hardly used in the past, Griffith is a modern Welsh possibility. It sounds like a surname-name, but it's really an Anglicization of Gruffudd. 

Heath (#948)-Heath caught on in the 1970s, making it a retro name. However, unlike the rhyming Keith, Heath still sounds wearable today. 

Japheth (unranked)-Japheth has the same mid-"ph" sound and Biblical ties as classic Joseph. Unlike Joseph, though, Japheth was never a common name. 

Smith (unranked)-Smith is so common as a surname that it sounds especially fresh as a first name. Smith was never common enough to date though it ranked from 1880 to 1939.
