Marcella

The Italian and Spanish feminine form of Marcellus, a Roman family name derived from Marcus — itself related to Mars, the Roman god of war, or possibly from the Etruscan. Marcella was the name of a wealthy fifth-century Roman widow who converted her household into a monastic community and was a disciple of Saint Jerome, making the name associated with learned female piety.

Magnolia

From the genus name Magnolia, the flowering tree named by the botanist Charles Plumier in honour of the French botanist Pierre Magnol (1638–1715). The word Magnolia is thus a Latinised form of the French surname Magnol, from the Occitan magno, related to the Latin magnus, "great." As a feminine given name, Magnolia is a floral name in the tradition of Violet, Lily, and Rose, used primarily in the American South, where the magnolia is the state flower of both Mississippi and Louisiana.

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.

Furio

From the Latin Furius, the name of an ancient Roman patrician gens. The name derives from the Latin furia meaning "fury, rage" or from the root fur meaning "thief" in some interpretations, though the gens Furia was one of Rome's most prestigious clans, producing censors, consuls, and dictators. The Italian form Furio retains the name's Roman patrician gravitas.

Jaqueline

A variant spelling of Jacqueline, the French feminine form of Jacques, itself the French form of James/Jacob. James derives from the Late Latin Jacomus, an alteration of Jacobus, from the Hebrew Yaakov meaning "supplanter" or "holder of the heel" — from the story of Jacob grasping Esau's heel at birth. Jacqueline became an aristocratic French name borne by queens and noblewomen.

Dolores

From the Spanish Maria de los Dolores meaning "Mary of Sorrows", referring to the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary in Catholic tradition. The Latin dolor means "pain, grief, sorrow". The feast of Our Lady of Sorrows (La Dolorosa) is celebrated on September 15, and the name has been particularly common in Spain and Latin America as an expression of Marian devotion.
