HEBREW: aFEL - dark
khaSHOKH - dark
KHOshekh - darkness
te'uhFA - darkness
tsel - darkness, shade
tsiLLA - shade (refreshment), dark (wife of Lamech, known as Zillah in English Bibles, Gen 4:19)GREEK:skoTIa - darkness
MElas (m.) / MElaina (f.) - black (hence Melanie)An online dictionary (obviously modern Greek) also lists:
maurideros, skuhros and a few others which don't really sound like names.My favourite is ZILLAH (for a girl)

I'm answering my own question-Thought of Raven, which actually means "raven"...but is dark, and often used for a girl.
