Minimal yet mighty—this three-letter powerhouse packs an incredible amount of elegance into its compact form. There's a quiet strength here, a name that doesn't need embellishment or elaboration to make its presence known. It's the kind of choice that speaks to parents who appreciate restraint and sophistication, who understand that sometimes less truly is more. The name has roots in multiple cultures, giving it a worldly quality despite its brevity. What's particularly appealing is its versatility in pronunciation and the fact that it's essentially nickname-proof—what you see is what you get, in the best possible way. It pairs beautifully with longer middle names and surnames, providing balance without competing for attention. The gentle vowel sounds create a melodic quality that belies the name's short length. For those seeking something distinctive that won't burden a child with constant misspellings or explanations, this represents an ideal choice—clear, beautiful, and timelessly simple.
