Rosa
“Rosa is a feminine given name of Latin origin meaning "rose", the flower. It is used across Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Catalan, where it has been a beloved name since the medieval period. Saint Rose of Lima (Rosa de Lima), the first person born in the Americas to be canonized, made the name especially popular across the Spanish-speaking world.”
Angela
“Angela is a feminine given name derived from the Latin angelus, from the Greek angelos meaning "messenger" or "angel". The name entered the Romance languages through the Christian tradition, where angels were God's divine messengers.

Geovany
“Geovany is a variant spelling of Giovanni, the Italian masculine form of John, derived from the Hebrew Yohanan meaning "God is gracious."
