Character Name
Sarita
Sarita Sarita carries the dual resonance of Sanskrit sacred rivers and Spanish affectionate diminutive — a name that either invokes the pure, continuous flow of water that sustains all life, or miniaturizes the Hebrew princess with tender endearment. In either tradition it suggests a character whose nature is characterized by movement and nourishment, someone who brings life and continuity to the landscapes and communities she passes through. It suits characters whose calm surface conceals considerable depth and directed force.

Aubree
“A modern variant of Aubrey, from the Old French Auberi, from the Old High German Alberich composed of alb meaning "elf" and rich meaning "power, ruler" — thus "elf ruler" or "king of the elves". Alberich was the name of the dwarf king in Germanic mythology who guarded the treasure of the Nibelungs. The feminine spelling Aubree emerged in twentieth-century American usage.”
Jillian
“An elaborated form of Jill, itself a medieval diminutive of Juliana, the feminine form of Julian, from the Latin Julianus derived from Julius. Julius was the name of the ancient Roman gens Julia, possibly related to the Greek Ioulos meaning "downy-bearded" or derived from the divine ancestor Iulus (Ascanius), son of Aeneas. The Gens Julia claimed descent from the goddess Venus.”
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.”
Libbie
“A diminutive of Elizabeth or Libby, from the Hebrew Elisheba meaning "my God is an oath" or "my God is abundance". The nickname Libbie was popular in the Victorian era, associated with the familiar American diminutive tradition. It was the nickname of Elizabeth Bacon Custer, wife of General George Custer, through whose memoirs the name acquired historical associations.”
Oliver
“Generally associated with the Latin olivarius, "olive tree planter" or "keeper of the olive grove," though the name may have older Germanic roots in the elements wulfa ("wolf") and harja ("army"). It was introduced to England by the Normans. Oliver is also the English form of the Old Norse Óleifr, meaning "ancestor's relic." Its literary associations, particularly with Dickens, cemented its modern popularity.”
Cristina
“Cristina is the Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian form of Christina, derived from the Latin "Christianus" meaning "a Christian" or "follower of Christ", from the Greek "Christos" (the anointed one). The name spread widely through the veneration of Saint Christina the Astonishing and other early Christian martyrs named Christina. It has been among the most consistently popular feminine names across southern Europe.”
