Esmena

If you love the name Esme but want to make it a little longer and lovelier, why not call baby Esmena? A feminine title, Esmena is an English creation inspired by the French Esmé and the German Esmeralda. With definitions like "esteemed" and "loved" in Old French, Esmé imbues Esmena with the adoration and affection that will surely follow your new addition. Esmeralda has Spanish and Portuguese roots and denotes the precious gemstone, the "emerald." Deep green in color, this jewel has long been associated with royalty, wit, and eloquence. Perhaps you'll celebrate sweet Esmena's beautiful mind and way with words each year in May, as they'll have a name that honors their birthstone and their birthday.
