The Mitsubishi Diamante, a luxury sedan that went on sale in the U.S. in the spring of 1991. (It had been introduced in Japan a year earlier.)
Write-ups about the new car noted that diamante was the Spanish word for “diamond.” Despite this, “Diamante” was pronounced dee-ah-MAHN-tee (as opposed to dee-ah-MAHN-teh) in television commercials.
The car’s name was inspired by Mitsubishi’s emblem, which features three red diamonds.
What are your thoughts on the name Diamante?
P.S. Did you know that “Mitsubishi” essentially means “three diamonds”? It’s made up of the Japanese words mitsu, meaning “three,” and hishi, which denotes “a rhombus or diamond shape.” (The literal meaning of hishi is “water chestnut.”)
The country of Ukraine is located in Eastern Europe. It shares a border with Russia, Belarus, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Moldova.
According to Ukraine’s Ministry of Justice, the top baby names of 2023 in the center-west part of the country — the city of Kyiv plus five nearby oblasts (Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytskyi, Zhytomyr, Cherkasy) — were Mariya (Maria) and Yeva (Eva) for girls and Mark and Oleksandr (Alexander) for boys.
Here’s a visual of the area:

Below you’ll find the top names for each of the six locations. Rankings weren’t specified, so, in the tables below, I’ve written the names in the order in which they appeared in the news release.
Kyiv (city)
Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, has a population of over 2.9 million. Here are Kyiv’s top baby names of 2023:
Vakula is the protagonist of the short story “Christmas Eve” (1832) by Ukrainian-born Russian writer Nikolai Gogol (Ukranian: Mykola Hohol).
P.S. Ukraine’s Ministry of Justice released the top baby names of 2022 for Kyiv and each of the five oblasts, but not for the center-west part of the country overall.
When Admiral Horatio Nelson was killed during the day-long Battle of Trafalgar in late 1805, Nelson’s second-in-command, Vice-Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood, assumed control of the British fleet. About an hour later, the Royal Navy won the battle.
Over the next few years, dozens of baby boys in England (and elsewhere) were named in honor of Collingwood. Most were given his surname as either a first or middle name, but others received his full name:
Several of his namesakes were also named after Nelson:
Nelson Collingwood Marselis, b. 1806 in the U.S. (New York)
Collingwood Nelson Simmonds, b. circa 1806 in England
Nelson Collingwood Robins, b. 1809 in England
The rare name Cuthbert (which last appeared in the U.S. baby name data in 1955) derives from the Old English words cuþ, meaning “known,” and beorht, meaning “bright.”
In February of 2014, Kimberly Fugate of Mississippi went into labor. She was expecting triplets, but learned in the delivery room that she would be having quadruplets.
What did she name the four identical baby girls?
Kenleigh Rosa, Kristen Sue, Kayleigh Pearl, and Kelsey Roxanne. (Kelsey was the “hidden surprise.”)
Kimberly’s first child, a daughter named Katelyn, was 10 when the quads were born.
