More Latin names
Chauncey
“From the English and French surname Chauncey, derived from a place name in Normandy (Chancé or Chanteloup), possibly from the Latin calciata (paved road). The surname was borne by prominent American families, most notably the Puritan divine Charles Chauncy and his descendants, and later became a given name in American usage, particularly among the upper classes.”
Morris
“From the Medieval Latin Mauritius, derived from Maurus meaning "a Moor, a North African, a dark-skinned person", from the Latin maurus related to the ancient region of Mauretania in North Africa. The name entered Western Europe through Saint Maurice, a third-century Roman soldier-martyr who was the patron saint of the Holy Roman Empire and Sardinia.”
Henri
“The French 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 "powerful in his domain". The name was borne by eight kings of France, multiple Holy Roman Emperors, and a dynasty of English kings, making it one of the dominant names in Western medieval and early modern history.”
Markus
“Derived from the Latin Marcus, which is thought to stem either from the Etruscan name Marce or from Mars, the Roman god of war. It was one of the most common praenomina in ancient Rome and spread widely through Europe via Christianity and the Roman Empire. Markus is the Scandinavian and German spelling, popular in Sweden, Norway, and German-speaking countries.”
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.”
Romeo
“From the Italian Romeo, derived from the Medieval Latin Romaeus meaning "a pilgrim to Rome" or "Roman citizen", itself rooted in Roma (Rome). The name entered literary immortality when Luigi da Porto used it for his tragic hero in the 1524 story Giulietta e Romeo, later adapted by Shakespeare.”
