More Latin names
Jaunita
“A variant spelling of Juanita, the Spanish diminutive of Juana, itself the Spanish feminine form of Juan (John), from the Latin Joannes, from the Greek Ioannes, from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning "God is gracious". The diminutive suffix -ita adds endearment. Juanita is widely used across Latin America and Spain, and among Hispanic communities in the United States.”
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.”
Marcus
“From the Latin Marcus, one of the most common Roman praenomina, thought to derive either from the Etruscan name Marce or from Mars, the Roman god of war — whose own name may come from an ancient root meaning "to glisten" or from the Etruscan Maris. Marcus was borne by emperors, statesmen, and philosophers, most notably Marcus Aurelius, the Stoic emperor-philosopher whose Meditations remain a foundational text of Western ethical thought.”
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.”
Nathen
“A variant spelling of Nathan, from the Hebrew Natan meaning "he gave" or "gift", from the root natan meaning "to give". Nathan was a Hebrew prophet who courageously confronted King David with the parable of the ewe lamb after the affair with Bathsheba. The spelling Nathen is an American phonetic variant of the traditional form.”
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.”
