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.”
Zoe
“From the Greek ζωή (zoē), simply meaning "life." It was used by Greek-speaking Jews as a translation of the Hebrew Eve (Chava, "living"). 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.”
Damion
“Damion is a masculine name, a variant of Damian, derived from the Greek Damianos, possibly from the Greek daman meaning "to tame" or "to subdue," or from the name of the Greek goddess Damia. Saint Damian was a third-century physician martyr venerated alongside his twin Saint Cosmas, whose cult spread throughout the Christian world.”
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.”
Lena
“Lena is a short form of Helena or Magdalena, ultimately deriving from the Greek "Helene", whose etymology is debated but often connected to "helios" (sun) or "selene" (moon), or to a root meaning "torch" or "bright". As a standalone name it gained popularity across Scandinavia, Germany, and Russia in the 19th and 20th centuries, and is now used independently throughout the world.”
Luke
“From the Greek Loukas, meaning "man from Lucania" — a region of southern Italy — or possibly derived from the Latin lux ("light"). The name was borne by Saint Luke the Evangelist, author of the third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, traditionally believed to have been a physician and companion of Saint Paul. It has been in English use since the medieval period.”
