More Latin names
Verlie
“An American variant of Verla or Verlene, itself possibly a diminutive of Verna (from the Latin vernus meaning "of spring, vernal") or a phonetic variant of Berlie/Birlie from Bertha (Old High German beraht meaning "bright"). The name appears primarily in American Southern naming records from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.”
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.”
Cristina
“Cristina is the Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian form of Christina, derived from the Latin "Christianus" meaning "a Christian" or "follower of Christ", from the Greek "Christos" (the anointed one). The name spread widely through the veneration of Saint Christina the Astonishing and other early Christian martyrs named Christina. It has been among the most consistently popular feminine names across southern Europe.”
Leta
“Probably a short form of names containing the Latin element laeta, meaning "joyful," "glad," or "happy" — as in Leticia (from the Latin laetitia, "happiness" or "joy"). It may also be connected to the Greek Leda, the Spartan queen who was the mother of Helen and the Dioscuri in Greek mythology, or to Lita, a short form of various Romance names. As a standalone name, Leta appeared in American records in the 19th century and carries a vintage Southern warmth.”
Amya
“A modern American variant of Amy, itself from the Old French Amée meaning "beloved", derived from the Latin amata, the feminine past participle of amare meaning "to love". The variant spelling gives a modern stylistic identity to a name whose root reaches back to the Latin concept of amor, the fundamental force in Virgil's Aeneid and the Roman love poets.”
Morris
“From the Medieval Latin Mauritius, derived from Maurus meaning "a Moor, a North African, a dark-skinned person", from the Latin maurus related to the ancient region of Mauretania in North Africa. The name entered Western Europe through Saint Maurice, a third-century Roman soldier-martyr who was the patron saint of the Holy Roman Empire and Sardinia.”
