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.”
Marty
“A diminutive of Martin, from the Latin Martinus derived from Martius meaning "of Mars" or "martial" — from Mars, the Roman god of war. Saint Martin of Tours (316–397), the French bishop famous for cutting his cloak in half to share with a beggar, made this one of the most beloved saints' names in medieval Western Christianity. The diminutive Marty became a common American given name.”
Francis
“From the Latin Franciscus, meaning "Frenchman" or "free man," derived from Francus, the Latin name for the Franks — a Germanic tribe whose name derives from a root meaning "free." The name was adopted throughout Europe following the fame of Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226), the Italian friar famous for his love of poverty and nature. Frances is the standard feminine form.”
Vickie
“A diminutive of Victoria, from the Latin victoria meaning "victory", derived from vincere meaning "to conquer". Victoria was the Roman goddess of victory, equivalent to the Greek Nike. The name gained particular British associations through Queen Victoria (1819–1901), whose sixty-three-year reign defined an era. The diminutive Vickie carries the informal warmth of the nickname tradition.”
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.”
Adrian
“Adrian is derived from the Latin Hadrianus, referring to someone from the city of Hadria in northern Italy (modern Adria), whose name may come from the Illyrian or Venetic word adur meaning "sea" or "water." The name became prominent through the Roman Emperor Hadrian, who built Hadrian's Wall in Britain, and through Pope Adrian I. It is widely used in Polish, Czech, Slovak, and other Slavic countries.”
