Dante
“An Italian short form of Durante, from the Latin Durantus/Durans meaning "enduring, steadfast", the present participle of durare meaning "to harden, to endure". The name's extraordinary cultural weight derives entirely from the Florentine poet Dante Alighieri (1265–1321), whose Divine Comedy remains the supreme work of Italian literature and one of the foundational texts of Western civilization.”
Danuta
“A Polish feminine name, possibly a diminutive of Dana or Daniela, from the Hebrew Daniel meaning "God is my judge", composed of din (judgment) and El (God). Alternatively it may derive from a Slavic root. The name is distinctively Polish and became internationally known through Danuta Wałęsa, wife of Solidarity leader Lech Wałęsa.”
Uriah
“From the Hebrew Uriyah meaning "God is my light" or "Yahweh is my light", composed of ur (fire, light) and Yah (a form of the divine name Yahweh). Uriah the Hittite was the husband of Bathsheba in the Bible, a loyal soldier deliberately sent to his death by King David, making the name a symbol of noble loyalty betrayed by those in power.”
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.”
Domingo
“The Spanish form of Dominic, from the Late Latin Dominicus meaning "of the Lord, belonging to the Lord", derived from dominus meaning "lord, master". The name was borne by Saint Dominic de Guzmán, the thirteenth-century Spanish founder of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans). Domingo is also the Spanish word for Sunday, the Lord's day.”
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.
