Alessia is an Italian name derived from the Greek verb alexéin ("to
defend, protect") and therefore means "defender, protector." Her "name day"
is January 9 - in honor of the maiden French martyr, St. Alessia.
Arwen (pronounced ar-wen)
Arwen is an English name meaning "muse." Not much more info on this name
other than the fact that we really liked it.
Bowers (pronounced lay-zee-per-son)
Depending on who you speak with, this name is either of English,
Scottish, or Dutch origin. Regardless of the country of origin, the meaning
