List of Female Gypsy Names and Meanings

Let’s dig into the meanings behind many female Romani names and their origins.

Abigall

The unique name Abigall is a form of Abigail and means joy. I love that it is simple, yet a little different and exotic!

Aishe

Aishe is a Romani variation of the Arabic name Aisha, which means alive, living.

In addition to the Romani people, Scandinavians use Allis, a variation of Alice. It means noble type.

Araunya

In the Romani language, Araunya means lady.

Asena

Asena might mean blue in the Turkish language. According to their mythology, the gray wolf Asena raised the person who started the Turkish tribe known as the Ashina.
