[Facts] Syvia, Aryl, and Vered
These are three of the names featured in my recent post on the Name Opinions Board entitled "Uncommon girls names" that no one has seemed to be able to explain to me yet. Hoping someone could help.Syvia - (not Sylvia) I'm not sure of the spelling, but I know an Orthodox Jewish woman with the name, so I assume it's Hebrew. It might be spelled with a C actually, but my dad's horribly dyslexic so I can't seem to get the right spelling off of him (he knows her much better than me).Aryl - Simply seems to be a very uncommon girls name. I can't seem to find if it means anything other than the chemistry ties it has. It was used in Zelda the Windwaker and it is the name of a poet apparently.Vered - I know it means Rose in Hebrew, but I'd like to know more about it and exactly how it is pronounced and which syllables the stress falls on.

Syvia: I'm not certain, but I'd guess it to be a variant of Tzivya (in the database). TZ's usually turn into Z's in English, but they can also turn into an S, as in Isaac.Vered: It's pronounced VEH-red, and is quite well-used in Israel. What else would you like to know?
