More French names
Charlotte
“Charlotte is the French feminine form of Charles, from the Old French Charlot, itself from the Germanic Karl meaning "free man". It dates to at least the 14th century in France, and spread across Europe through French royal influence — Charlotte of Savoy, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (Queen of England), and Goethe's Lotte from The Sorrows of Young Werther all bore the name.”
Marcel
“Marcel is a French and Occitan masculine name, a form of Marcellus, itself a diminutive of the Roman praenomen Marcus, ultimately linked to Mars, the Roman god of war. The name is widely used in France, Belgium, and Switzerland, and also found in Poland, Hungary, and Romania, where it carries a cosmopolitan, slightly intellectual quality.”
Jean
“Jean is the French masculine form of John, derived from the Latin Iohannes, from the Greek Ioannes, itself from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning "God is gracious". It has been one of the most common male names in France for centuries, borne by countless saints, kings, philosophers, and literary figures. In French literature, Jean Valjean is its most famous fictional bearer.”
Marion
“Marion is a French unisex given name, a medieval French diminutive of Marie (Mary), derived from the Hebrew Miriam of uncertain meaning — possibly "wished-for child," "beloved," or "rebellious." As a masculine name it is found in French-speaking countries and in the American South; as a feminine name it is used across English, French, and other European cultures.”
Christelle
“Christelle is a French feminine given name, a diminutive form of Christine, itself derived from the Latin Christianus meaning "a Christian" or "follower of Christ", from the Greek Christos meaning "anointed one". The -elle suffix is a characteristically French diminutive, giving the name a lighter, more modern feel than Christine. It became popular in France during the second half of the 20th century.”
Jerome
“Jérôme is the French masculine form of Jerome, from the Greek Hieronymos meaning "holy name" — composed of hieros (holy, sacred) and onoma (name). Saint Jerome (347–420), the great Biblical scholar who translated the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate), made the name central to Catholic intellectual tradition. In France, Jérôme has been used continuously since the early Christian period.”
