More Latin names
Lesly
“A variant spelling of Leslie or Lesley, from the Scottish place name Lesslyn in Aberdeenshire, possibly from the Gaelic leas cuinn meaning "garden of hollies" or from a pre-Gaelic source. The surname became a given name through Scottish aristocratic families, particularly Clan Leslie. The feminine spelling Lesley is traditionally used for women, Lesly being a further variant.”
Patience
“From the Latin patientia meaning "endurance, suffering, forbearance", derived from patiens (the present participle of pati meaning "to suffer, to endure"). The word entered English as both a virtue and a name during the Protestant Reformation, when Puritan communities favored names drawn from abstract virtues as spiritual declarations.”
Lester
“From the English place name Leicester, itself from the Roman settlement Ligora Castra meaning "the Roman fort on the Ligore river". The element castra (military camp) reflects the Roman settlement pattern in Britain. The surname Lester, from Leicester, became a given name in the nineteenth century following the English tradition of using aristocratic surnames as first names.”
Sesto
“From the Latin Sextus meaning "sixth", the ordinal number adjective from sex (six). Sextus was a common Roman praenomen, typically given to a sixth child, and was borne by several figures in Roman history including the sons of Tarquinius Superbus, the last king of Rome. The Italian form Sesto preserves this ancient Roman numeral-name tradition.”
Clodovea
“The feminine Italian form of Clodoveo (Clovis), from the Old Frankish Hlodwig composed of hlod meaning "fame, glory" and wig meaning "battle, war". The name is the same in origin as Ludwig and Louis. Clovis I was the fifth-century Frankish king whose conversion to Catholic Christianity shaped the religious destiny of Western Europe.”
Antonia
“The feminine form of Antonius, the name of the distinguished Roman patrician gens whose etymology may derive from the Etruscan Antun, possibly from the Greek anthos meaning "flower". Antonia was the name of two daughters of Mark Antony and was a common name among Roman imperial women, most famously Antonia Minor, grandmother of the Emperor Caligula.”
