More Latin names
Daija
“A modern American coinage, likely a variant spelling of Deja, derived from the French déjà as in déjà vu meaning "already seen" — from the Latin jam (already). It may also be influenced by the Yoruba name Deja or by other African American naming traditions that create new forms through phonetic creativity. The name emerged in American usage in the late twentieth century.”
Lavada
“An American coinage likely derived from the Spanish lavada meaning "washed" or "cleansed", from lavar (to wash), itself from the Latin lavare. Alternatively it may be a variant of Lavinia, the ancient Latin name of the wife of Aeneas. It emerged as a given name primarily in the American South during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.”
Caligola
“The Italian form of Caligula, a Latin nickname meaning "little boot" (diminutive of caliga, the heavy military sandal worn by Roman soldiers). The nickname was given to the future emperor Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus as a child, when he was dressed in miniature military costume in the legionary camp. His given name was Gaius; Caligula was never a formal name.”
Raina
“Possibly from the Slavic raina meaning "queen" (related to the Latin regina), or a variant of Raina from the Bulgarian/South Slavic word for the dogwood tree, or a form of Reina (Spanish for "queen", from the Latin regina, from rex meaning "king"). The name may also be a variant of Rayna or of the Germanic Reinhilde.”
Danuta
“A Polish feminine name, possibly a diminutive of Dana or Daniela, from the Hebrew Daniel meaning "God is my judge", composed of din (judgment) and El (God). Alternatively it may derive from a Slavic root. The name is distinctively Polish and became internationally known through Danuta Wałęsa, wife of Solidarity leader Lech Wałęsa.”
Aniyah
“A modern American variant of Aniya or Ania, which may derive from the Hebrew Hannah (meaning "grace, favor"), from the Arabic Haniyya (meaning "pleasant, delightful"), or from the Swahili Nia (meaning "purpose"). The name emerged primarily in African American communities in the late twentieth century as part of a creative naming tradition drawing on multiple cultural sources.”
