More Latin names
Marcella
“The Italian and Spanish feminine form of Marcellus, a Roman family name derived from Marcus — itself related to Mars, the Roman god of war, or possibly from the Etruscan. Marcella was the name of a wealthy fifth-century Roman widow who converted her household into a monastic community and was a disciple of Saint Jerome, making the name associated with learned female piety.”
Audenico
“A rare Italian masculine name, possibly derived from the Germanic Alderic or Auderic, composed of ald/aud meaning "old, noble, rich" and ric meaning "power, ruler" — thus "old ruler" or "noble and powerful". The name is found in Northern Italian (particularly Piedmontese and Lombardy) historical records and retains an archaic aristocratic quality.”
Assunta
“From the Italian assunta meaning "assumed, taken up", the past participle of assumere, from the Latin ad (to) and sumere (to take). The name refers to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, the Catholic doctrine that Mary was taken bodily into heaven at the end of her life. It is one of the most distinctively Italian Catholic given names, particularly common in Southern Italy and Sicily.”
Jaqueline
“A variant spelling of Jacqueline, the French feminine form of Jacques, itself the French form of James/Jacob. James derives from the Late Latin Jacomus, an alteration of Jacobus, from the Hebrew Yaakov meaning "supplanter" or "holder of the heel" — from the story of Jacob grasping Esau's heel at birth. Jacqueline became an aristocratic French name borne by queens and noblewomen.”
Romeo
“From the Italian Romeo, derived from the Medieval Latin Romaeus meaning "a pilgrim to Rome" or "Roman citizen", itself rooted in Roma (Rome). The name entered literary immortality when Luigi da Porto used it for his tragic hero in the 1524 story Giulietta e Romeo, later adapted by Shakespeare.”
Edgardo
“The Italian form of Edgar, from the Old English Eadgar composed of ead meaning "wealth, fortune, prosperity" and gar meaning "spear" — thus "prosperous spear" or "wealthy with the spear". Edgar was a name borne by Anglo-Saxon kings of England and survived the Norman Conquest as a given name in aristocratic circles.”
