More French names
Claire
“Claire is a French feminine given name from the Latin clara meaning "clear, bright, famous". Saint Clare of Assisi (1194–1253), co-founder with Saint Francis of the Poor Clares religious order, gave the name immense prestige in the Catholic world — her name chosen to match her luminous spiritual beauty. In France, Claire has been one of the most enduringly beloved feminine names, combining religious prestige with everyday elegance.”
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.”
Alexandrie
“Alexandrie is a rare French feminine given name, a feminized form of Alexandre (Alexander), from the Ancient Greek Alexandros meaning "defender of men". More unusually, it carries the direct association with Alexandria — the city Alexander the Great founded in Egypt in 331 BC, which became the greatest center of learning in the ancient world, home of the Library of Alexandria. The name thus carries both personal-name meaning and the resonance of a legendary city.”
Zacharie
“Zacharie is the French masculine form of Zachary/Zacharias, from the Hebrew Zekharyah meaning "God has remembered", composed of zakhar (to remember) and Yah (God). In the Bible, Zechariah is both a minor prophet and the father of John the Baptist, struck dumb by an angel until the birth of his son. Pope Zachary (741–752) and several other saints gave the name ecclesiastical standing in France.”
Aurelie
“Aurélie is a French feminine given name derived from the Latin Aurelia — the feminine form of Aurelius, from aureus meaning "golden, of gold". The ancient Roman gens Aurelia was one of Rome's great families, and the name passed into French through Catholic hagiography via Saint Aurèle. In France, Aurélie gained renewed popularity in the late 20th century as a graceful, classically-rooted name with a luminous sound.”
Marthe
“Marthe is the French feminine form of Martha, from the Aramaic Marta meaning "mistress, lady of the house" — the feminine form of mar meaning "lord, master". In the New Testament, Martha of Bethany — sister of Mary and Lazarus — represents the active life of practical service, famously contrasted with her sister Mary's contemplative listening. The name has been used in France since the early Christian era and was a common 20th-century name.”
