Dominic
“From the Latin Dominicus, derived from dominus, meaning "lord" or "master," with the sense "belonging to the Lord" or "of God." The name was commonly given to children born on Sunday (dies Dominica, "the Lord's day"). It was popularised in medieval Europe through Saint Dominic of Osma (1170–1221), founder of the Dominican Order.”
Sabrina
“From the Latinized form of Hafren, the ancient Welsh name for the River Severn, Britain's longest river. The Roman geographer Tacitus recorded the river's Latin name as Sabrina. According to Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, Sabrina was a drowned princess who became the river goddess of the Severn, making the name one of the oldest named female figures in British legend.”
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.”
Titus
“A Latin praenomen of uncertain origin — possibly Etruscan — used throughout the Roman Republic and Empire. Some scholars connect it to the Latin titulus ("title of honour") or to the Sabine titus ("pigeon"), though neither derivation is certain. The name was borne by the Roman emperor Titus Flavius Vespasianus and by a companion of Saint Paul mentioned in the New Testament Epistle to Titus.”
Gaylord
“From the Old French gaillard meaning "lively, merry, bold" — a complimentary medieval adjective for a vigorously cheerful person. The word entered Middle English as a surname and eventually became a given name in America, primarily in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The medieval French root connects it to a tradition of courtly names praising physical and temperamental vitality.”
Toney
“A variant spelling of Tony, itself a diminutive of Anthony/Antonio, from the Latin Antonius, the name of a distinguished Roman gens. The etymology of Antonius is debated — possibly from the Etruscan Antun, or from the Greek anthos (flower). The -ey spelling variant is primarily American, often found in male given names in the American South.”
