Pau
“Pau is the Catalan masculine form of Paul, from the Latin Paulus meaning "small" or "humble". In Catalan, pau also means "peace" — giving the name a dual resonance of apostolic tradition and the Catalan word for tranquility. Most famously borne by Pau Casals (1876–1973), the great Catalan cellist and conductor who became a symbol of Catalan resistance to Francoism.”
Nil
“Nil is a Catalan masculine given name, the Catalan form of Nilus or Neil — from the Greek Neilos, the Greek name for the Nile River, possibly from a Semitic root meaning "river". In Catalonia, Nil is used as a clean, modern-feeling Catalan given name. The 10th-century Byzantine monk Saint Nilus of Rossano was an influential figure, and the Catalan Nil carries both the ancient Egyptian river's resonance and the Greek hagiographic tradition.”
Mar
“Mar is a Catalan feminine given name meaning "sea", from the Latin mare. It is also used as a short form of María in Catalan-speaking regions of Spain. In the Valencian Community and Catalonia, Mar is a popular standalone name, evoking the Mediterranean coast. As a short form of María del Mar ("Mary of the Sea"), it carries Marian religious connotations alongside its natural imagery.”
