Charlotte
French · “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.”
Isabel
Spanish · “Isabel is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Elizabeth, a medieval Iberian variant of the Hebrew Elisheba meaning "my God is an oath" or "my God is abundance". The name was borne by two of history's most powerful women: Queen Isabel I of Castile (1451–1504), sponsor of Columbus's voyages, and her granddaughter Isabel of Portugal. It is one of the most prestigious and beloved names in the Spanish-speaking world.”

Inez
“Inez is the English and Spanish spelling of Inés, the Iberian form of Agnes, itself from the Greek "hagnos" meaning "pure" or "chaste". The name was widespread in medieval Spain and Portugal, carried most famously by Inês de Castro, a 14th-century Portuguese noblewoman whose tragic love story became the subject of enduring literary and operatic works.”
Teresa
“Teresa is a feminine given name of uncertain but likely Greek origin, possibly from the Greek theresia meaning "harvester" or from the island of Thera (Santorini). It became enormously popular across the Catholic world through Saint Teresa of Ávila (1515–1582), the Spanish mystic, Doctor of the Church, and author of The Interior Castle, and later through Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. It is used across Spanish and Italian.”
Linda
“In Spanish and Portuguese, linda simply means "pretty" or "beautiful," making it a straightforward word-name. However, as an English name it more likely developed as a feminine suffix form attached to names like Belinda or Melinda. The element -linda in Germanic names derives from the Old High German lind, meaning "soft," "gentle," or "serpent." Linda exploded in popularity across the English-speaking world in the 1940s and 1950s.”
Rosario
“Rosario is a Spanish and Italian given name, used for both men and women, from the Latin rosarium meaning "rose garden" or "rosary" — referring to the Catholic devotion of the Rosary (Nuestra Señora del Rosario, Our Lady of the Rosary). The name is one of the most distinctively Iberian Catholic names, deeply embedded in Spanish and southern Italian religious culture, where the Rosary is central to Marian devotion.”
Saul
“Saul is a masculine given name of Hebrew origin, from Sha'ul meaning "asked for" or "prayed for". In the Bible, Saul was the first King of Israel and later the Apostle Paul bore it as his Hebrew name. In the Spanish-speaking world, Saúl is found across Latin America as well as Spain, and the name appears in French and Italian contexts through biblical tradition.”
Jose Manuel
“José Manuel is a Spanish compound masculine given name combining José (from the Hebrew Yosef, "God will add") and Manuel (from the Hebrew Immanu'el, "God is with us"). Double names of this type represent the Spanish tradition of honouring two saints simultaneously, and José Manuel is one of the most classic Iberian combinations, widespread across Spain and Latin America since the 18th century.”
