Descriptions:

Artemis, the hunter.  In Greek mythology, Artemis is the goddess of the hunt and of wild animals, among other things.

Faith means to have trust and confidence- that things would work out between DotCa and Beauty, which resulted in this beautiful eyas!

The meaning of Nyla means cloud and champion.  Because she will spend so much time in the air, I thought cloud was appropriate.  The fact that the second part of the meaning is champion adds to the wonder of this name. A champion means one that is clearly superior or has the attributes of a winner!  This name encompasses the whole idea of what we look for in a peregrine falcon

Summer - Egg hatched on first day of summer.

Vega is the sky's fifth brightest star and the meaning in Arabic is "The Swooping Eagle."  This star is in the constellation Lyra, the Lyre, which represents the harp of the great mythical musician Orpheus

The top female names are Faith and Nyla, each with 19 votes. Unfortunately, neither will be used for our male eyas.

Wonderful name!  So happy we can now call him by his name!  Here's to hoping we have multiple eyases next year, as there were awesome choices we could not use this year!
