Names That Mean Good
The simplest wish of all. Darius and Daria mean “possessing goodness” in Persian, Evander is “good man” in Greek, Evangeline the bringer of good news, Tobias “God is good” in Hebrew, and Ifeoma “a good thing” in Igbo. Hao, Jia and Yoshi carry good in Chinese and Japanese. Names that mean good are unshowy and hard to argue with, which is probably why they last.
