Character Name
Libbie
Libbie Libbie has the warm informality of the Victorian nickname tradition — a name that strips the scriptural weight from Elizabeth and replaces it with the intimacy of the family circle and the frontier community. The Elizabethan Hebrew root of divine abundance persists beneath the diminutive form, giving a character named Libbie access to considerable inner resource despite the modest, familiar exterior. It suits protagonists of the American West or Victorian domestic world whose unpretentious exterior conceals extraordinary inner life.

More Latin names
Jillian
“An elaborated form of Jill, itself a medieval diminutive of Juliana, the feminine form of Julian, from the Latin Julianus derived from Julius. Julius was the name of the ancient Roman gens Julia, possibly related to the Greek Ioulos meaning "downy-bearded" or derived from the divine ancestor Iulus (Ascanius), son of Aeneas. The Gens Julia claimed descent from the goddess Venus.”
Jayde
“A modern variant of Jade, from the Spanish piedra de ijada meaning "stone of the flank", as jade was believed to cure kidney ailments. The stone's name entered English through Old French. Jade has been treasured in Chinese, Mesoamerican, and Māori cultures for millennia as a symbol of purity, wisdom, and protection.”
Raina
“Possibly from the Slavic raina meaning "queen" (related to the Latin regina), or a variant of Raina from the Bulgarian/South Slavic word for the dogwood tree, or a form of Reina (Spanish for "queen", from the Latin regina, from rex meaning "king"). The name may also be a variant of Rayna or of the Germanic Reinhilde.”
Oliver
“Generally associated with the Latin olivarius, "olive tree planter" or "keeper of the olive grove," though the name may have older Germanic roots in the elements wulfa ("wolf") and harja ("army"). It was introduced to England by the Normans. Oliver is also the English form of the Old Norse Óleifr, meaning "ancestor's relic." Its literary associations, particularly with Dickens, cemented its modern popularity.”
Godfrey
“From the Old French Godefroy, from the Old High German Godafrid composed of god meaning "god" and frid meaning "peace" — thus "God's peace". The name was introduced to England by the Normans and became common in medieval English-speaking lands. Geoffrey and Jeffrey are related forms that developed along different phonetic paths.”
Adriana
“Adriana is the feminine form of Adriano/Adrian, derived from the Latin Hadrianus, referring to someone from the city of Hadria (modern Adria) in northern Italy, near the Adriatic Sea. The Adriatic's name itself may derive from the Illyrian or Venetic word adur meaning "water." The name became widespread in Slavic and Romance language countries through the influence of Pope Adrian I and the Roman Emperor Hadrian.”
