Ancient Greek · “From the Latin Sebastianus, derived from the Greek Sebastianos, meaning "from Sebastia" — a city in Asia Minor whose name derives from sebastos meaning "venerable" or "revered", the Greek equivalent of the Latin Augustus. Saint Sebastian, a Roman soldier martyred under Diocletian, made the name iconic in Western Christian art and literature.”
Adrian
Latin · “Adrian is derived from the Latin Hadrianus, referring to someone from the city of Hadria in northern Italy (modern Adria), whose name may come from the Illyrian or Venetic word adur meaning "sea" or "water." The name became prominent through the Roman Emperor Hadrian, who built Hadrian's Wall in Britain, and through Pope Adrian I. It is widely used in Polish, Czech, Slovak, and other Slavic countries.”

In early Christian tradition, the name was associated with eternal life and used by several saints. It has been popular in English-speaking countries since the 19th century and has ranked among the top girls' names globally in the 21st century.”
Meda
“Meda is a short form of names such as Medea, Almeda, or Remedia. Medea derives from the Greek, connected to the sorceress Medea of Colchis in Greek mythology, whose name relates to "medesthai" (to ponder, to plan). As a given name Meda has been used in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe as a simplified variant, as well as in some Native American communities. It also appears in the Germanic tradition as a pet form of Mechthild.”
Lenna
“A short form or variant of Helena, Eleanor, or Magdalena — all ultimately from the Greek. Through Helena it connects to the Greek helenos ("bright one") or helios ("sun"); through Eleanor to the Occitan Alienor (possibly from the Arabic or from the Old Provençal ali-aenor, "the other Aenor"); through Magdalena to the place name Magdala, a town on the Sea of Galilee meaning "tower." Lenna may also be a Scandinavian name in its own right, a feminine form of Lenn or a variant of Lena.”
Kristoffer
“The Scandinavian form of Christopher, derived from the Greek Christophoros, meaning "bearer of Christ," from Christos ("anointed one") and phoros ("to bear"). The name gained wide currency through the legend of Saint Christopher, who supposedly carried the Christ child across a river. Kristoffer is the standard spelling in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.”
Genesis
“From the Greek Genesis, meaning "origin," "beginning," or "creation" — from gignesthai, "to be born" or "to come into being." Genesis is the title of the first book of the Bible, the book of beginnings, from the Hebrew Bereshit ("in the beginning"). As a feminine given name, Genesis has been used in the United States since the late 20th century, particularly in Hispanic-American communities, and carries strong associations with new starts and creative potential.”
Eulalia
“Eulalia is derived from the Greek "eulalos", composed of "eu" meaning "well, good" and "lalein" meaning "to speak", thus meaning "sweetly-speaking" or "well-spoken". Saint Eulalia of Mérida was a 4th-century Spanish child martyr venerated widely across the Iberian Peninsula, and her name became a beloved hagiographic name in medieval Christian Europe.”
