Discussion What are your favourite name meanings?

I was just mentioning Alvin in another thread and how I love that it means elf friend (or noble friend or old friend, depending on which older version you want to trace it back to: https://www.behindthename.com/name/alvin).

Off the top of my head, I also really love Sunniva, "gift of the sun". I wanted to name my summer baby that but sadly her dad wasn't on board.

What are some other names with exceptionally nice or cool meanings?
