Cesidia
“A rare Italian feminine name, possibly derived from the Latin Caesidius, a Roman family name. It may relate to the gens Caesidia, a minor Roman clan, or derive from the Latin caedo meaning "to cut, to fell", from which the cognomen Caeso developed. The name is primarily found in the Ciociaria region of Lazio, central Italy, where it has strong local tradition.”
Jaunita
“A variant spelling of Juanita, the Spanish diminutive of Juana, itself the Spanish feminine form of Juan (John), from the Latin Joannes, from the Greek Ioannes, from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning "God is gracious". The diminutive suffix -ita adds endearment. Juanita is widely used across Latin America and Spain, and among Hispanic communities in the United States.”
Chester
“From the Old English Ceaster, the name given to Roman-walled cities and derived from the Latin castra, meaning "military camp" or "fortress." Chester in Cheshire, England, was the Roman fort city Deva Victrix. The surname Chester derives from someone who came from that city, and it entered use as a given name in 19th-century America, where it was borne by President Chester A. Arthur.”
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.”
Annette
“A French diminutive of Anne, from the Latin Anna, itself from the Hebrew Hannah meaning "grace, favor" or "God has favored me" — from the Hebrew root chanan meaning "to be gracious". The diminutive -ette suffix gives the name a particularly French affectionate quality. Hannah was the name of the mother of the prophet Samuel in the Old Testament.”
