Saint Monica (331–387), the deeply devout mother of Saint Augustine of Hippo, whose decades of prayer finally converted her brilliant but wayward son, gave this name an enduring spiritual significance across Catholic Europe.”

In Polish, Czech, Slovak, and South Slavic cultures it is a popular springtime name associated with warmth, nature, and new beginnings.”
Bozena
“Bożena is a Polish feminine given name derived from the word Bóg meaning "God" — thus "divine" or "of God." It originally appeared in the forms Bożana and Bożechna. The name is specifically Polish and carries strong Catholic resonance, often given to girls born on religious feast days. It is one of the older Slavic names in Polish tradition.”
Gabriela
“Gabriela is the feminine form of Gabriel, derived from the Hebrew Gavriel meaning "God is my strength."

In Russian imperial history, Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanova made the name famous worldwide.”
