Santo
“From the Latin sanctus meaning "holy" or "consecrated", the past participle of sancire meaning "to make sacred". The word formed the basis of the Christian concept of sainthood and was widely adopted as a given name in Catholic Southern Europe, especially in Italy and Spain, as a direct expression of religious devotion.”
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.”
Markus
“Derived from the Latin Marcus, which is thought to stem either from the Etruscan name Marce or from Mars, the Roman god of war. It was one of the most common praenomina in ancient Rome and spread widely through Europe via Christianity and the Roman Empire. Markus is the Scandinavian and German spelling, popular in Sweden, Norway, and German-speaking countries.”
Lester
“From the English place name Leicester, itself from the Roman settlement Ligora Castra meaning "the Roman fort on the Ligore river". The element castra (military camp) reflects the Roman settlement pattern in Britain. The surname Lester, from Leicester, became a given name in the nineteenth century following the English tradition of using aristocratic surnames as first names.”
Sesto
“From the Latin Sextus meaning "sixth", the ordinal number adjective from sex (six). Sextus was a common Roman praenomen, typically given to a sixth child, and was borne by several figures in Roman history including the sons of Tarquinius Superbus, the last king of Rome. The Italian form Sesto preserves this ancient Roman numeral-name tradition.”
Audenico
“A rare Italian masculine name, possibly derived from the Germanic Alderic or Auderic, composed of ald/aud meaning "old, noble, rich" and ric meaning "power, ruler" — thus "old ruler" or "noble and powerful". The name is found in Northern Italian (particularly Piedmontese and Lombardy) historical records and retains an archaic aristocratic quality.”
