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.”

Rodrigo
“Rodrigo is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Roderick, from the Visigothic name Hrodric composed of hrod meaning "fame" and ric meaning "power, ruler" — thus "famous ruler". The name is particularly associated with Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, the 11th-century Castilian knight known as El Cid, one of the greatest heroes of Spanish literature and history.”
Manuela
“Manuela is the Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian feminine form of Manuel, itself derived from the Hebrew Immanuel meaning "God is with us," composed of im (with), anu (us), and El (God). The name carries deep biblical resonance as the name given to the prophesied Messiah in Isaiah. It is common in Latin American and southern European cultures, and appears occasionally in Slavic regions.”
Alejandro
“Alejandro is the Spanish form of Alexander, from the Ancient Greek Alexandros — a compound of alexein meaning "to defend, protect" and aner meaning "man" — thus "defender of men". The name entered Spain via the Latin Alexander and underwent the characteristic Spanish consonant shift from x to j. Alexander the Great's legend, filtered through medieval romance, made the name one of the most prestigious in the Spanish-speaking world.”
Soledad
“From the Spanish soledad, meaning "solitude" or "loneliness," derived from the Latin solitudo. It is used as a given name in honour of the Virgin Mary under her title Nuestra Señora de la Soledad ("Our Lady of Solitude"), who represents Mary's grief after the Crucifixion. The name is primarily used in Spanish-speaking countries and among Hispanic communities.”
Bibiana
“Bibiana is a feminine given name used in Spanish and Italian, a variant of Viviana, from the Latin Vivianus — derived from vivus meaning "alive, living". The name was borne by Saint Bibiana (Viviana), a 4th-century Roman Christian martyr whose remains were enshrined in the Basilica di Santa Bibiana in Rome. The Roman church dedicated to her was rebuilt by Gian Lorenzo Bernini under Pope Urban VIII in 1624–1626.”
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.”
