I think this was the name that got me looking more and more into meanings. Perhaps some sites simply list it as meaning "great", but I've always understood it as "sublime", which is the highest compliment.

There's also another Arabic name- which I failed to pen- that means "not less (worthy)", which I thought was lovely, for a female.

Agnes: Pure or Holy

Any Nahuatl name, especially Xochipilli and Ixchel. I also like Mongolian and names in Sanskrit. They often have divine and/or nature meanings. They represent entire ideas, rather than just words.
