Lena

Greek · “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.”

Silvana

“The Italian and Spanish feminine form of Silvanus, from the Latin silva meaning "wood, forest". Silvanus was the Roman god of the forest and countryside, protector of fields and woodland boundaries, a rural deity associated with the wild spaces that bordered human cultivation. The feminine form Silvana carries the forest's ancient associations of mystery and natural power.”

Marcellus

“Marcellus is a Latin masculine name, a diminutive of Marcus, ultimately linked to Mars, the Roman god of war — thus "little warrior" or "young follower of Mars." It was a common cognomen in ancient Rome, borne by the general Marcus Claudius Marcellus who conquered Syracuse in 212 BC. In Polish and Slavic contexts the name carries a classical Roman authority.”

Oliver

“Generally associated with the Latin olivarius, "olive tree planter" or "keeper of the olive grove," though the name may have older Germanic roots in the elements wulfa ("wolf") and harja ("army"). It was introduced to England by the Normans. Oliver is also the English form of the Old Norse Óleifr, meaning "ancestor's relic." Its literary associations, particularly with Dickens, cemented its modern popularity.”

Skylar

“A variant spelling of Schuyler, from the Dutch surname Schuyler derived from the Dutch schuler meaning "scholar" or possibly from schull meaning "shelter, hide". The Dutch surname Schuyler was brought to America by Dutch settlers in New York and became a given name in American usage; the phonetic spelling Skylar emerged in the late twentieth century.”

Jillian

“An elaborated form of Jill, itself a medieval diminutive of Juliana, the feminine form of Julian, from the Latin Julianus derived from Julius. Julius was the name of the ancient Roman gens Julia, possibly related to the Greek Ioulos meaning "downy-bearded" or derived from the divine ancestor Iulus (Ascanius), son of Aeneas. The Gens Julia claimed descent from the goddess Venus.”

Clodovea

“The feminine Italian form of Clodoveo (Clovis), from the Old Frankish Hlodwig composed of hlod meaning "fame, glory" and wig meaning "battle, war". The name is the same in origin as Ludwig and Louis. Clovis I was the fifth-century Frankish king whose conversion to Catholic Christianity shaped the religious destiny of Western Europe.”
