It shares its root with Lucius, Lucy, and Lucia, all part of the ancient Roman naming tradition that honored light as a primal virtue.”
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.”
Adrian

Santo
“From the Latin sanctus meaning "holy" or "consecrated", the past participle of sancire meaning "to make sacred".

Sarita
“From the Sanskrit sarita meaning "river, flowing water", derived from the root sr meaning "to flow".
