More French names
Denise
“Denise is a French feminine given name, the feminine form of Denis — derived from the Greek Dionysios, meaning "devoted to Dionysus", the Greek god of wine and festivity. Saint Denis (Saint Dionysius), the first Bishop of Paris and patron saint of France, martyred on Montmartre in the 3rd century, made Denis one of the most venerated names in France. Denise became a popular feminine form in the 20th century.”
Veronique
“Véronique is the French form of Veronica, from the Latin Veronica — traditionally derived from the Latin vera (true) and the Greek eikon (image), meaning "true image", referring to the cloth on which Jesus's face was miraculously imprinted when Saint Veronica wiped it on the road to Calvary. The name was widely used in France through its saint's legend and carries strong Passion narrative associations in Catholic culture.”
Emilie
“Emilie is a French and German feminine name, the feminine form of Émile, itself derived from the Roman family name Aemilius, of uncertain origin — possibly from the Latin aemulus meaning "rival" or "striving to equal." The name is used in French-speaking countries, Germany, Scandinavia, and Czech Republic, carrying a refined, slightly literary quality.”
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.”
Nicole
“Nicole is a French feminine given name, the French feminine form of Nicolas (Nicholas), from the Greek Nikolaos — composed of nike meaning "victory" and laos meaning "people" — thus "victory of the people". Nicole was one of the most popular French feminine names of the mid-20th century, becoming internationally familiar and widely used across the French-speaking world. In France it carries the warmth of a classic mid-century name.”
Samuel
“Samuel is a Hebrew masculine name meaning "God has heard" or "name of God", from shama (heard) and El (God) — or alternatively from sha'al (to ask) and El. The biblical Samuel was the last of the judges of Israel and the first of the prophets, who anointed both Saul and David as kings. The name is widely used in French, Spanish, and Italian contexts, carried by writers including Samuel Beckett, whose French literary career defined 20th-century theatre.”
