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.”
Emerald
“From the English word emerald, denoting the brilliant green gemstone, derived via Old French esmeraude and Medieval Latin esmaralda/smaragdus from the Greek smaragdos, which may ultimately come from a Semitic root. Emerald as a given name is a gemstone name in the tradition of Ruby, Pearl, and Jade, evoking vivid colour, rarity, and value. It has been used as a feminine given name in English since at least the 19th century.”
Helena
“The Latin form of Helen, derived from the Ancient Greek Helenē, probably from helenos meaning "the bright one" or connected to helios, "sun." In Greek mythology Helena was the daughter of Zeus and Leda, whose abduction by Paris sparked the Trojan War. The name was further popularised by Saint Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, who was credited with finding the True Cross.”
Zoe
“From the Greek ζωή (zoē), simply meaning "life." It was used by Greek-speaking Jews as a translation of the Hebrew Eve (Chava, "living"). In early Christian tradition, the name was associated with eternal life and used by several saints. It has been popular in English-speaking countries since the 19th century and has ranked among the top girls' names globally in the 21st century.”
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.”
Nikolaus
“Nikolaus is the German form of Nicholas, from the Greek "Nikolaos", composed of "nikē" meaning "victory" and "laos" meaning "people". It thus means "victory of the people". Saint Nicholas of Myra (4th century AD) was a Christian bishop renowned for his generosity, and his legend evolved into the Santa Claus tradition in Germanic and Dutch cultures, where Nikolaus remains the primary name for the gift-giving figure.”
