Natalie

Olga

Russian · “Olga is the Russian and Slavic form of the Old Norse name Helga, derived from "heilagr" meaning "holy" or "blessed." The name was brought to Kievan Rus by Varangian settlers and became famous through Saint Olga of Kiev (c. 890–969), the first Rus ruler to convert to Christianity and the grandmother of Vladimir the Great. She is venerated as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church.”

Tatiana

Russian · “Tatiana is a Russian and Slavic feminine name derived from the Latin Tatianus, itself from the Roman family name Tatius — of uncertain Sabine origin, possibly related to the Sabine king Titus Tatius. Saint Tatiana of Rome, a third-century Christian martyr, spread the name through Eastern Orthodox Christianity. In Russia, January 25 — Saint Tatiana's Day — is celebrated as Students' Day, as Moscow State University was founded on that date.”

Irina

Russian · “Irina is the Russian and Slavic form of Irene, derived from the ancient Greek "Eirene" meaning "peace." The goddess Eirene was one of the Horae (goddesses of the seasons) and a personification of peace, depicted carrying a cornucopia. Saint Irene of Rome and other early Christian martyrs spread the name across the Byzantine world and from there into Slavic culture, where it became one of the most enduring feminine names.”

Natalya

Russian · “Natalya is the Russian form of Natalia, from the Latin "natale domini" meaning "birth of the Lord," given to children born on Christmas Day. In Russian culture, the name is inseparably linked to Natasha Rostova in Tolstoy's "War and Peace" — one of the most beloved heroines in world literature, whose vivacious energy and emotional generosity came to define the ideal of Russian feminine vitality. The diminutive Natasha is among the most internationally recognized of all Russian names.”

Tristian

“A variant spelling of Tristan, from the Celtic name Drustan (or Drystan), related to the Pictish personal name, possibly from the Celtic root meaning "noise" or "tumult". The name was later associated by medieval writers with the Latin tristis meaning "sad", reinforcing the tragic character of the legend. Tristan is the hero of one of the great medieval romance cycles.”

Silvana

“The Italian and Spanish feminine form of Silvanus, from the Latin silva meaning "wood, forest". Silvanus was the Roman god of the forest and countryside, protector of fields and woodland boundaries, a rural deity associated with the wild spaces that bordered human cultivation. The feminine form Silvana carries the forest's ancient associations of mystery and natural power.”

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.”

Daija

“A modern American coinage, likely a variant spelling of Deja, derived from the French déjà as in déjà vu meaning "already seen" — from the Latin jam (already). It may also be influenced by the Yoruba name Deja or by other African American naming traditions that create new forms through phonetic creativity. The name emerged in American usage in the late twentieth century.”

Tiana

“A short form of Tatiana, from the Latin Tatianus, a derivative of the Roman family name Tatius — borne by the Sabine king Titus Tatius who ruled jointly with Romulus in Roman legend. The name was popular in the Eastern Orthodox world through Saint Tatiana, a 3rd-century Roman martyr. In the English-speaking world, Tiana also functions as a creative form of Tia or Diana, and gained wide recognition through the Disney film The Princess and the Frog (2009).”

Vita

“From the Latin vita meaning "life" — the fundamental Latin word for biological existence, from the Proto-Indo-European root gwei- meaning "to live". Vita encompasses the entire span of existence from birth to death and was a central concept in Roman philosophy, medicine, and religion. The word gives English "vital", "vitality", "vitamin", and many other life-related terms.”
