Virginia 
Latin, "Pure, virginal; U.S. state"
Decades before trendy state names Montana and Dakota became all the rage, Virginia was a top choice for well-bred girls. Named for the U.S. state, which was itself named for Queen Elizabeth I (known as the virgin queen), Virginia has classic Southern charm, with the playful nicknames Ginger and Ginny.
