Female Names

  • Aleksandra: This variant spelling of Alexandra was rejected. The spelling Alexandra is allowed in Iceland.
  • Lárenzína: This is a creative spelling of Lárensína, an Icelandic female form of Laurenz, derived from Laurentius. It was approved.
  • Melasól: This Icelandic vocabulary word for 'Arctic poppy' was approved. It is not on the picture because it was published belated.
  • Toby: This name was rejected for the second time now. It had been rejected on 8 July 2009 once before, but
  • Tóbý: was confirmed as the proper spelling in Iceland again. It is a female form of the Hebrew name Tobias.
