More Latin names
Gina
“Gina is an Italian short form of names ending in "-gina", most commonly Luigina, Georgina, or Regina. Regina derives from the Latin "regina" meaning "queen", from "rex" (king). In Scandinavian use, Gina became popular as a short form of Georgina or as a standalone name. Its Italian roots give it a warm, Mediterranean quality that contrasts with its Germanic-Scandinavian usage contexts.”
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.”
Arturo
“The Italian and Spanish form of Arthur, from the Celtic Art (or Arth) meaning "bear" combined possibly with the Brythonic viros meaning "man" — thus "bear-man". Alternatively it may derive from the Roman gens Artorius, whose origin is unknown. Arthur is the legendary king of Britain whose court at Camelot and fellowship of the Round Table became the supreme myth of medieval chivalric civilization.”
Dominic
“From the Latin Dominicus, derived from dominus, meaning "lord" or "master," with the sense "belonging to the Lord" or "of God." The name was commonly given to children born on Sunday (dies Dominica, "the Lord's day"). It was popularised in medieval Europe through Saint Dominic of Osma (1170–1221), founder of the Dominican Order.”
Santo
“From the Latin sanctus meaning "holy" or "consecrated", the past participle of sancire meaning "to make sacred". The word formed the basis of the Christian concept of sainthood and was widely adopted as a given name in Catholic Southern Europe, especially in Italy and Spain, as a direct expression of religious devotion.”
Delfina
“The Italian and Spanish feminine form of Delphin, from the Latin Delphinus meaning "dolphin" or "from Delphi". The dolphin (Greek delphis) was sacred to Apollo and was his symbol as the protector of sailors, believed to carry the souls of the dead to the Isles of the Blessed. Delphi, the oracle site, derives its name from the same root. Saint Delphina of Provence was a fourteenth-century Franciscan laywoman.”
