She
Derived from the French pronoun meaning 'she', it emerged as a standalone name in the late 19th century. While often used as a diminutive for names like Eleanor or Elizabeth, it has gained popularity as a sleek, minimalist choice in its own right. It carries an air of effortless Parisian chic and modern simplicity.
