Aphra

Aphra is a sweet, songlike girl’s name of Hebrew origin. A likely variant of the biblical place name Aphrah, Aphra means “dust,” sharing its ancient roots with Beth-le-aphrah, a town mentioned in the Christian Old Testament. Despite pre-dating your little one by a few millennia or so, Aphra has a bright, modern twang to it that’ll certainly appeal to your trendy tot. English poet and playwright Aphra Behn is one of many bearers to bring this unique name to fame.
