Nathen
“A variant spelling of Nathan, from the Hebrew Natan meaning "he gave" or "gift", from the root natan meaning "to give". Nathan was a Hebrew prophet who courageously confronted King David with the parable of the ewe lamb after the affair with Bathsheba. The spelling Nathen is an American phonetic variant of the traditional form.”
Graziella
“An Italian diminutive of Grazia, from the Latin gratia meaning "grace, favor, thanks" — the word that gives English its "grace" and "gratitude". Gratia in Roman culture referred to the exchange of favor and goodwill that structured social relationships, while in Christian theology it became the central concept of divine gift freely given. The diminutive form Graziella adds tenderness to the concept.”
Fausto
“From the Latin Faustus meaning "auspicious, lucky, bringing good fortune", derived from favere meaning "to be favorable". Faustus was a common Latin cognomen and given name in ancient Rome. The name became inseparable from the German legend of Doctor Faustus after Marlowe's and Goethe's treatments, transforming "the fortunate one" into the archetype of fatal ambition.”
Enrico
“The Italian form of Henry, from the Old High German Heimrich composed of heim meaning "home" and rich meaning "power, ruler" — thus "ruler of the home" or "lord of the estate". The name passed into Italian through the medieval Latin Henricus and Old French Henri. Enrico Caruso, the legendary Italian tenor, made the name synonymous with the golden age of opera.”
Patrick
“Patrick derives from the Latin "Patricius", meaning "nobleman" or "of patrician rank", from "pater" (father) and the suffix denoting social class. Saint Patrick, the 5th-century Romano-British missionary who became the patron saint of Ireland, was born Maewyn Succat but adopted the Latin name Patricius upon entering the church. Through his legacy, Patrick became the defining masculine name of Irish Catholic tradition.”
Aubree
“A modern variant of Aubrey, from the Old French Auberi, from the Old High German Alberich composed of alb meaning "elf" and rich meaning "power, ruler" — thus "elf ruler" or "king of the elves". Alberich was the name of the dwarf king in Germanic mythology who guarded the treasure of the Nibelungs. The feminine spelling Aubree emerged in twentieth-century American usage.”
