Lalage

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Greek

Meaning: Babble, prattle

When baby’s all a chatter and simply can’t say enough about the world, you’ll know you’ve chosen well with Lalage. This feminine name comes from the Greek word lalage, carrying the playful meanings “babble” and “prattle.” Lalage is also the name of a bird species from the cuckooshrike family, aka trillers, recognizable for their small, monochrome appearance and lilting song. From its adorably chatty endearments to its association with the sweet little bird, don’t be surprised if baby Lalage holds the gift of the gab (and the voice of an angel!).
