Dino
“An Italian short form of names ending in -dino, particularly Bernardino or Gherardino, from the Germanic elements combining with the suffix -ino. It can also function as a diminutive of names with the element dino from the Germanic theud meaning "people" or from the Greek deinos meaning "terrible, powerful". In modern Italian it is commonly a standalone given name.”
Daija
“A modern American coinage, likely a variant spelling of Deja, derived from the French déjà as in déjà vu meaning "already seen" — from the Latin jam (already). It may also be influenced by the Yoruba name Deja or by other African American naming traditions that create new forms through phonetic creativity. The name emerged in American usage in the late twentieth century.”
Sesto
“From the Latin Sextus meaning "sixth", the ordinal number adjective from sex (six). Sextus was a common Roman praenomen, typically given to a sixth child, and was borne by several figures in Roman history including the sons of Tarquinius Superbus, the last king of Rome. The Italian form Sesto preserves this ancient Roman numeral-name tradition.”
Aniyah
“A modern American variant of Aniya or Ania, which may derive from the Hebrew Hannah (meaning "grace, favor"), from the Arabic Haniyya (meaning "pleasant, delightful"), or from the Swahili Nia (meaning "purpose"). The name emerged primarily in African American communities in the late twentieth century as part of a creative naming tradition drawing on multiple cultural sources.”
Marcia
“Marcia is a feminine given name of Latin origin, the feminine form of Marcius, itself derived from Marcus — ultimately from Mars, the Roman god of war. As a Roman clan name it was borne by several prominent Roman figures, and it survived into modern Italian and English usage as an elegant classical name.”
Raina
“Possibly from the Slavic raina meaning "queen" (related to the Latin regina), or a variant of Raina from the Bulgarian/South Slavic word for the dogwood tree, or a form of Reina (Spanish for "queen", from the Latin regina, from rex meaning "king"). The name may also be a variant of Rayna or of the Germanic Reinhilde.”
