More French names
Julie
“Julie is the French feminine form of Julia, derived from the Latin Julius — an ancient Roman family name possibly related to the Greek word for "soft-haired" (ioulos) or to the Latin Iovilius meaning "devoted to Jupiter". In France, Julie gained enormous literary resonance through Rousseau's epistolary novel Julie, ou la Nouvelle Héloïse (1761), one of the best-selling novels of the 18th century.”
Joseph
“Joseph derives from the Hebrew Yosef, meaning "God will add" or "God shall increase", from the root yasaf. It passed through Greek and Latin into French as Joseph, becoming widespread across the Catholic world through the biblical patriarch and Saint Joseph, foster father of Jesus. In French-speaking contexts the name carries centuries of religious and literary weight.”
Tristan
“Tristan is a French masculine given name of Celtic origin, possibly from the Pictish/Brythonic name Drust or Drustanus, meaning "tumult, noise" — or connected to the Latin tristis meaning "sad". The medieval legend of Tristan and Iseult, one of the great love stories of Western literature, made the name synonymous with passionate, doomed love. The name spread across France, Brittany, and the Celtic regions through Arthurian romance tradition.”
Luc
“Luc is the French masculine form of Luke, from the Latin Lucas — derived from the Greek Loukas, possibly meaning "man from Lucania" (a region of southern Italy) or related to the Greek leukos meaning "bright, white, light". Saint Luke the Evangelist, companion of Paul and author of the third Gospel and Acts of the Apostles, gave the name enduring Christian prestige. In France, Luc has been a classic, clean-cut masculine name.”
Alexia
“Alexia is a feminine given name, the feminine form of Alexis, from the Greek alexein meaning "to defend, to help". It is a variant of Alexandra filtered through the shorter Alexis form. In France and the Iberian Peninsula, Alexia became a popular feminine name in the late 20th century, combining the prestige of its Greek roots with a modern, internationalist feel.”
Anouk
“Anouk is a French feminine given name, a diminutive form of Anna, itself from the Hebrew Hannah meaning "grace" or "favour". The Dutch also use Anouk as a diminutive of Anna. In France the name gained widespread recognition through the actress Anouk Aimée, star of Claude Lelouch's Un homme et une femme (1966), which made the name synonymous with Parisian chic.”
