4Alice

Alice is famous thanks to the heroine of Lewis Caroll in “Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland”. It comes from the Old French name Aalis, a short form of Adelais, itself a short form of the Germanic name Adalheidis.

5Léa

Léa is the French form of Leah, which means “lioness of wisdom” in Hebrew. In Latin, lea means “lioness”. Two bold significations for a beautiful name and one of the most popular French baby names.

6Mila

This isn’t a classic French name, but Mila became popular around 2000, maybe thanks to the actress Milla Jovovich. Or maybe not! This diminutive of Ludmila comes from the Slavic word “ljudi”, the people, and “milo”, loved. Mila is “loved by the people”!
