Damion
“Damion is a masculine name, a variant of Damian, derived from the Greek Damianos, possibly from the Greek daman meaning "to tame" or "to subdue," or from the name of the Greek goddess Damia. Saint Damian was a third-century physician martyr venerated alongside his twin Saint Cosmas, whose cult spread throughout the Christian world.”
Tiffany
“An English form of Theophania, from the Greek theos ("God") and phainein ("to appear" or "to show"), meaning "manifestation of God" or "Epiphany." The name was traditionally given to girls born on the Feast of Epiphany (January 6). It fell almost entirely out of use after the medieval period and was revived in the 20th century in America, becoming enormously popular in the 1980s, partly through cultural association with the luxury jeweller Tiffany & Co.”
Stephan
“Stephan is the German and Dutch form of Stephen, from the Greek "Stephanos" meaning "crown" or "wreath" — specifically the garland or crown given to victors in athletic or military contests. Saint Stephen was the first Christian martyr (proto-martyr), stoned to death in Jerusalem as recounted in the Acts of the Apostles. The name spread across Europe through the cult of this saint.”
Philip
“Philip is a masculine name derived from the Greek Philippos, composed of philein (to love) and hippos (horse) — meaning "lover of horses." It was the name of Philip II of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great, and one of Christ's twelve apostles. The name has been used across all European cultures since antiquity, including in Slavic countries.”
Lenna
“A short form or variant of Helena, Eleanor, or Magdalena — all ultimately from the Greek. Through Helena it connects to the Greek helenos ("bright one") or helios ("sun"); through Eleanor to the Occitan Alienor (possibly from the Arabic or from the Old Provençal ali-aenor, "the other Aenor"); through Magdalena to the place name Magdala, a town on the Sea of Galilee meaning "tower." Lenna may also be a Scandinavian name in its own right, a feminine form of Lenn or a variant of Lena.”
Luke
“From the Greek Loukas, meaning "man from Lucania" — a region of southern Italy — or possibly derived from the Latin lux ("light"). The name was borne by Saint Luke the Evangelist, author of the third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, traditionally believed to have been a physician and companion of Saint Paul. It has been in English use since the medieval period.”
