An uncommon Greek pick — distinctive and rare.
Genoa (a port city and comune, the capital of the Metropolitan City of Genoa and the region of Liguria, Italy)
Zena is a girl's baby name with roots in multiple traditions — in Greek, it relates to Zeus (meaning 'life' or 'divine'), and it was famously borne by Xena: Warrior Princess, the iconic 1990s TV heroine who gave this name a fierce, independent strength.
Zena also functions as a short form of Zenobia and as a Slavic variant of names meaning 'noble.'
Zena climbed 1415 spots in the last 20 years — from #3688 to #2273.
