Possibly from the Slavic raina meaning "queen" (related to the Latin regina), or a variant of Raina from the Bulgarian/South Slavic word for the dogwood tree, or a form of Reina (Spanish for "queen", from the Latin regina, from rex meaning "king"). The name may also be a variant of Rayna or of the Germanic Reinhilde.

The Italian and Spanish feminine form of Silvanus, from the Latin silva meaning "wood, forest".

The feminine form Silvana carries the forest's ancient associations of mystery and natural power.

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.

Markus

Derived from the Latin Marcus, which is thought to stem either from the Etruscan name Marce or from Mars, the Roman god of war. It was one of the most common praenomina in ancient Rome and spread widely through Europe via Christianity and the Roman Empire. Markus is the Scandinavian and German spelling, popular in Sweden, Norway, and German-speaking countries.

Tazio

The Italian form of Tatius, the name of the Sabine king Titus Tatius, who according to Roman legend co-ruled Rome with Romulus after the settlement following the Rape of the Sabine Women. The name is of Sabine origin, possibly related to the Latin tata meaning "father" as a term of affection. It is rare outside Italy.

Adriana

Adriana is the feminine form of Adriano/Adrian, derived from the Latin Hadrianus, referring to someone from the city of Hadria (modern Adria) in northern Italy, near the Adriatic Sea. The Adriatic's name itself may derive from the Illyrian or Venetic word adur meaning "water." The name became widespread in Slavic and Romance language countries through the influence of Pope Adrian I and the Roman Emperor Hadrian.
