Eulalia
“Eulalia is derived from the Greek "eulalos", composed of "eu" meaning "well, good" and "lalein" meaning "to speak", thus meaning "sweetly-speaking" or "well-spoken". Saint Eulalia of Mérida was a 4th-century Spanish child martyr venerated widely across the Iberian Peninsula, and her name became a beloved hagiographic name in medieval Christian Europe.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
Helen
“From the Ancient Greek Helenē, probably from helenos meaning "the bright one" or "the shining one," possibly connected to helios ("sun") or selene ("moon"). In Greek mythology Helen of Troy was the most beautiful woman in the world, whose abduction by Paris sparked the Trojan War. The name entered English through the Latin Elena and Helena, and has been in widespread use since the medieval period, sustained by both classical and Christian (Saint Helena) associations.”
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.”
