Tristian
“A variant spelling of Tristan, from the Celtic name Drustan (or Drystan), related to the Pictish personal name, possibly from the Celtic root meaning "noise" or "tumult". The name was later associated by medieval writers with the Latin tristis meaning "sad", reinforcing the tragic character of the legend. Tristan is the hero of one of the great medieval romance cycles.”
Genziana
“From the Italian genziana, the name for the gentian flower, which in turn derives from the Latin Gentiana, named after Gentius, the second-century BC king of Illyria (modern Albania) who was said to have discovered the plant's medicinal properties. The gentian is prized in Alpine herbal medicine for its intensely bitter root, used as a digestive tonic.”
Adrian
“Adrian is derived from the Latin Hadrianus, referring to someone from the city of Hadria in northern Italy (modern Adria), whose name may come from the Illyrian or Venetic word adur meaning "sea" or "water." The name became prominent through the Roman Emperor Hadrian, who built Hadrian's Wall in Britain, and through Pope Adrian I. It is widely used in Polish, Czech, Slovak, and other Slavic countries.”
Leta
“Probably a short form of names containing the Latin element laeta, meaning "joyful," "glad," or "happy" — as in Leticia (from the Latin laetitia, "happiness" or "joy"). It may also be connected to the Greek Leda, the Spartan queen who was the mother of Helen and the Dioscuri in Greek mythology, or to Lita, a short form of various Romance names. As a standalone name, Leta appeared in American records in the 19th century and carries a vintage Southern warmth.”
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.”
Paula
“The feminine form of Paul, derived from the Latin "Paulus" meaning "small" or "humble". The name was borne by Saint Paula of Rome (347–404), a wealthy Roman widow who became a close companion of Saint Jerome and founded monasteries in Bethlehem, making the name prestigious in the early Christian world. It became common in Germany, Scandinavia, and across Latin Europe.”
