“Garett is an English and Irish masculine name, a variant spelling of Garrett, derived from the Old Germanic Gerhard meaning "strong spear" or "hard/brave with a spear," from ger (spear) and hard (hard, brave). The name was brought to Ireland by the Anglo-Normans and became embedded in Irish culture through the powerful FitzGerald family.”
Audrey
“Audrey is an English feminine name, the Anglo-Norman form of the Old English Æthelþryð, composed of æthel meaning "noble" and þryð meaning "strength" — thus "noble strength." It was the name of Saint Audrey (Saint Æthelthryth), the seventh-century Abbess of Ely, whose legend linked cheap lace sold at her feast-day fair to the word "tawdry" — though the name itself retains its original nobility.”
Abigayle
“Abigayle is a variant spelling of Abigail, a Hebrew feminine name meaning "my father is joy" or "father's joy," from the elements av (father) and gil (joy). In the Old Testament, Abigail was the name of the wise and beautiful wife of David who averted conflict through diplomatic intervention.”
Queen
“Queen is an English feminine given name derived directly from the common noun queen, from Old English cwen meaning "woman," "wife," or "queen." As a given name it appears in African-American naming traditions as both a title-name and an expression of dignity and majesty. It may also originate as a shortening of the surname MacQueen.”
Halie
“Halie is a variant spelling of Hailey, an English surname and given name derived from a place name meaning "hay clearing" or "hay meadow," from Old English heg (hay) and leah (clearing, meadow). As a given name it became popular in English-speaking countries in the late twentieth century, with Halie as a distinctive spelling variant.”
