Baby girls names and meanings from papua new guinea?

I am a New Guinean Australian and my daughter is due in October. I cant find any traditional names to give my baby girl.

Baby girls names and meanings from papua new guinea?
It depends on where in PNG you come from...i.e: Highlands or coastal??





Some highlands girls names are:





Lapinu---what you do


Ringy---??


Nina---mine


Mona--belonging to them


Nikinu--type of plant





Some coastal:





Vavine---girl


Aurora--?(New Guinea Is name)








Good Luck in finding the name :)
Reply:Congratulations! I'm also in the process of finding a name for my daughter and at the moment, we're set on "Tahlia" - meaning 'dew of God'. Here are some suggestions for you bearing in mind your culture:





Koina


Aglem-Ter


Yerema


Rossa


Kundika- Marpa


Sirizo





I had trouble also finding more names from papua New Guinea and researched some from nearby Indonesea:





Atin


Kade


Arti


Merpati
Reply:The only Australian name I can find is Kylie, which apparently means boomerang. I can't find any names from Papua New Guinea.


But I think that Kylie is a very pretty name!


Sorry!!
