More Latin names
Clara
“From the Latin clara, the feminine form of clarus meaning "clear, bright, famous". The name was popularized by Saint Clare of Assisi (Chiara), the thirteenth-century founder of the Order of Poor Ladies, who chose a life of radical poverty following Saint Francis. The name has been borne by queens, scientists, and heroines across European history.”
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.”
Edgardo
“The Italian form of Edgar, from the Old English Eadgar composed of ead meaning "wealth, fortune, prosperity" and gar meaning "spear" — thus "prosperous spear" or "wealthy with the spear". Edgar was a name borne by Anglo-Saxon kings of England and survived the Norman Conquest as a given name in aristocratic circles.”
Herminia
“The feminine form of Herminio/Herminus, from the Latin Arminius, the name of the Germanic tribal leader who destroyed three Roman legions in the Teutoburg Forest in 9 CE. The Latin Arminius possibly derives from the Germanic Irmin, an Irminic deity or heroic figure, related to the Proto-Germanic erminaz meaning "great, strong, whole".”
Antonia
“The feminine form of Antonius, the name of the distinguished Roman patrician gens whose etymology may derive from the Etruscan Antun, possibly from the Greek anthos meaning "flower". Antonia was the name of two daughters of Mark Antony and was a common name among Roman imperial women, most famously Antonia Minor, grandmother of the Emperor Caligula.”
Roslyn
“Possibly a variant of Rosalind, from the Old High German Roslindis composed of hros meaning "horse" and lind meaning "gentle, soft, flexible" — thus "gentle horse" or "tender steed". Alternatively it may be a Scottish place name (Rosslyn in Midlothian, famous for its chapel) that became a given name. The rose-association in the spelling gives it additional floral resonance.”
