Audrey

English · “Audrey is an English feminine name, the Anglo-Norman form of the Old English Æthelþryð, composed of æthel meaning "noble" and þryð meaning "strength" — thus "noble strength." It was the name of Saint Audrey (Saint Æthelthryth), the seventh-century Abbess of Ely, whose legend linked cheap lace sold at her feast-day fair to the word "tawdry" — though the name itself retains its original nobility.”

Travis

“From the English surname Travis, derived from the Anglo-French travers meaning "crossroads, crossing place", from the Old French traverser meaning "to cross". Traverser derives from the Latin transversus (turned across), from trans (across) and vertere (to turn). Travis thus means "one who lives or works at a crossing" — a ferryman or toll-keeper at a river ford or road junction.”

Mariano

“From the Latin Marianus, a Roman family name derived from Marius, itself likely from Mars, the Roman god of war, or possibly from the Latin mas/maris meaning "male". The name was borne by several Roman generals and became common throughout the Christian world partly through association with the Virgin Mary.”

Joana

“The Portuguese and Catalan form of Joan, itself from the Latin Johanna, a feminine form of Joannes (John), derived from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning "God is gracious". The name shares its root with the Hebrew yhwh ("God") and chanan ("to be gracious"), and has been carried by queens, saints, and heroines across the Iberian world.”

Tatjana

“Tatjana is the Slavic (Russian, Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian) form of Tatiana, which derives from the Roman family name Tatius — possibly of Sabine origin, borne by the Sabine king Titus Tatius who co-ruled Rome with Romulus. The Russified form Tatyana became one of the most beloved heroines in Russian literature through Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin", a cultured and emotionally genuine woman who gives her name to a celebrated soliloquy.”

Scottie

“A diminutive of Scott, from the Late Latin Scotus meaning "a Gael" or "one from Scotland" or Ireland. The Scotti were a Latin designation for Gaelic-speaking raiders and settlers from Ireland who eventually gave their name to the northern kingdom. Scottie emerged as an affectionate diminutive in English-speaking cultures.”

Ayana

“From the Amharic/Ethiopian Ayana meaning "beautiful flower" or "forever blooming", or from the Native American (Cherokee or other) origin meaning "eternal blossom". It may also derive from the Somali ayana meaning "luck, good fortune". The name appears across multiple unrelated cultures with overlapping themes of beauty, bloom, and favorable fortune.”
