You’d think it would make more sense to create names inspired by virtues worth emulating, and not vices we’d rather avoid. Even so, humans have always found a way to craft a moniker from just about anything, and the concept of envy is no exception.
For girls, there are the deceptively pretty-sounding Levea and Loisteen; interestingly, both names come from Ancient Rome and are variants of the name Olivia. As you may have guessed, neither are terribly popular here in the States, as there’s no Social Security Administration data on their popularity.
Neidhart is a fiery name that comes from the Old German word meaning ‘envy, brave, anger, and fervor.’ Clearly, it’s a name that’s perfect for someone who’s passionate, so consider giving it to your baby boy if you want him to live a life of zest and intensity. Like Levea and Loisteen, though, it’s not a very popular name in the U.S. at all–usually it’s more common as a surname than as a given name.
We’ve got a whole list of other names that mean envy that will truly set your little one apart from the rest; read on to learn more about their origins and any additional meanings they might have.
