“Philip is a masculine name derived from the Greek Philippos, composed of philein (to love) and hippos (horse) — meaning "lover of horses." It was the name of Philip II of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great, and one of Christ's twelve apostles. The name has been used across all European cultures since antiquity, including in Slavic countries.”
Helen
“From the Ancient Greek Helenē, probably from helenos meaning "the bright one" or "the shining one," possibly connected to helios ("sun") or selene ("moon"). In Greek mythology Helen of Troy was the most beautiful woman in the world, whose abduction by Paris sparked the Trojan War. The name entered English through the Latin Elena and Helena, and has been in widespread use since the medieval period, sustained by both classical and Christian (Saint Helena) associations.”

Stephan
“Stephan is the German and Dutch form of Stephen, from the Greek "Stephanos" meaning "crown" or "wreath" — specifically the garland or crown given to victors in athletic or military contests. Saint Stephen was the first Christian martyr (proto-martyr), stoned to death in Jerusalem as recounted in the Acts of the Apostles. The name spread across Europe through the cult of this saint.”
Tiffany
“An English form of Theophania, from the Greek theos ("God") and phainein ("to appear" or "to show"), meaning "manifestation of God" or "Epiphany." The name was traditionally given to girls born on the Feast of Epiphany (January 6). It fell almost entirely out of use after the medieval period and was revived in the 20th century in America, becoming enormously popular in the 1980s, partly through cultural association with the luxury jeweller Tiffany & Co.”

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.”
