Arturo
“The Italian and Spanish form of Arthur, from the Celtic Art (or Arth) meaning "bear" combined possibly with the Brythonic viros meaning "man" — thus "bear-man". Alternatively it may derive from the Roman gens Artorius, whose origin is unknown. Arthur is the legendary king of Britain whose court at Camelot and fellowship of the Round Table became the supreme myth of medieval chivalric civilization.”
Anthony
“From the Latin Antonius, an ancient Roman family name of uncertain origin — possibly Etruscan. A popular folk etymology linked it to the Greek anthos, "flower," but this is not linguistically supported. The name was spread across Europe by the cult of Saint Anthony the Great (the desert father) and Saint Anthony of Padua, becoming one of the most enduring Christian names in Western tradition. The H in Anthony was added in English during the 17th century under false Greek influence.”
Joelle
“The French feminine form of Joel, from the Hebrew Yo'el meaning "God is God" or "Yahweh is God", composed of Yahweh (the divine name) and El (God). The name appears in the Old Testament as the prophet Joel, whose book contains one of the most vivid apocalyptic visions in Hebrew scripture. Joëlle is the standard French feminine form.”
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.”
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.”
Vita
“From the Latin vita meaning "life" — the fundamental Latin word for biological existence, from the Proto-Indo-European root gwei- meaning "to live". Vita encompasses the entire span of existence from birth to death and was a central concept in Roman philosophy, medicine, and religion. The word gives English "vital", "vitality", "vitamin", and many other life-related terms.”
