More Latin names
Tiana
“A short form of Tatiana, from the Latin Tatianus, a derivative of the Roman family name Tatius — borne by the Sabine king Titus Tatius who ruled jointly with Romulus in Roman legend. The name was popular in the Eastern Orthodox world through Saint Tatiana, a 3rd-century Roman martyr. In the English-speaking world, Tiana also functions as a creative form of Tia or Diana, and gained wide recognition through the Disney film The Princess and the Frog (2009).”
Christian
“From the Latin Christianus, meaning "follower of Christ" or "one who belongs to Christ," derived from the Greek Christos ("anointed one"), which is itself a translation of the Hebrew Mashiach (Messiah). It began as a descriptive title for early Christians and gradually became a personal name throughout medieval Europe, used for both men and women.”
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.”
Isaiah
“From the Hebrew Yeshayahu meaning "God is salvation" or "Yahweh is salvation", composed of yesha' (salvation, deliverance) and Yah (a shortened form of Yahweh, the divine name). Isaiah was the eighth-century BC Hebrew prophet whose book contains the most extensive messianic prophecies in the Old Testament, including the Suffering Servant passages applied to Jesus in Christian theology.”
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.”
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.”
