More Latin names
Skylar
“A variant spelling of Schuyler, from the Dutch surname Schuyler derived from the Dutch schuler meaning "scholar" or possibly from schull meaning "shelter, hide". The Dutch surname Schuyler was brought to America by Dutch settlers in New York and became a given name in American usage; the phonetic spelling Skylar emerged in the late twentieth century.”
Veronica
“From the Medieval Latin Veronica, traditionally interpreted as a combination of the Latin vera meaning "true" and the Greek eikon meaning "image" — thus "true image". The name is associated with the legend of Saint Veronica, who wiped Christ's face on the Via Dolorosa and received a miraculous imprint. It may also derive from the Greek form of the Macedonian name Berenice.”
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.”
Paula
“The feminine form of Paul, derived from the Latin "Paulus" meaning "small" or "humble". The name was borne by Saint Paula of Rome (347–404), a wealthy Roman widow who became a close companion of Saint Jerome and founded monasteries in Bethlehem, making the name prestigious in the early Christian world. It became common in Germany, Scandinavia, and across Latin 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.”
Travis
“From the English surname Travis, derived from the Anglo-French travers meaning "crossroads, crossing place", from the Old French traverser meaning "to cross". Traverser derives from the Latin transversus (turned across), from trans (across) and vertere (to turn). Travis thus means "one who lives or works at a crossing" — a ferryman or toll-keeper at a river ford or road junction.”
