Stephan

Markus

Latin · “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.”

Stefan

Old Slavic · “Stefan is the Slavic form of Stephen, derived from the Greek Stephanos meaning "crown" or "wreath," from stephein (to encircle, to crown). The name became popular throughout the Slavic world through the veneration of Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr, and is used in Serbian, Bulgarian, Polish, Czech, Slovak, German, and Scandinavian cultures.”

Lukas

Czech · “Lukáš is the Czech and Slovak form of Luke, derived from the ancient Greek "Loukas," which may come from the Latin "Lucius" meaning "light," or more likely is a short form of "Loukanos" — a name from the region of Lucania in southern Italy. Saint Luke the Evangelist, the author of the third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, who was a physician and companion of Saint Paul, made this name universal across Christian Europe.”

Damion

“Damion is a masculine name, a variant of Damian, derived from the Greek Damianos, possibly from the Greek daman meaning "to tame" or "to subdue," or from the name of the Greek goddess Damia. Saint Damian was a third-century physician martyr venerated alongside his twin Saint Cosmas, whose cult spread throughout the Christian world.”

Lenna

“A short form or variant of Helena, Eleanor, or Magdalena — all ultimately from the Greek. Through Helena it connects to the Greek helenos ("bright one") or helios ("sun"); through Eleanor to the Occitan Alienor (possibly from the Arabic or from the Old Provençal ali-aenor, "the other Aenor"); through Magdalena to the place name Magdala, a town on the Sea of Galilee meaning "tower." Lenna may also be a Scandinavian name in its own right, a feminine form of Lenn or a variant of Lena.”

Alexis

“Alexis is a Greek given name derived from the verb "alexein" meaning "to defend, to protect". It is related to the name Alexander and shares the same root. In ancient Greece, Alexis was primarily a masculine name, used by the 4th-century comic playwright Alexis of Thurii. In modern usage it has become gender-neutral, widely used as a feminine name in France, the United States, and English-speaking countries since the late 20th century.”

Luke

“From the Greek Loukas, meaning "man from Lucania" — a region of southern Italy — or possibly derived from the Latin lux ("light"). The name was borne by Saint Luke the Evangelist, author of the third Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, traditionally believed to have been a physician and companion of Saint Paul. It has been in English use since the medieval period.”

Helen

“From the Ancient Greek Helenē, probably from helenos meaning "the bright one" or "the shining one," possibly connected to helios ("sun") or selene ("moon"). In Greek mythology Helen of Troy was the most beautiful woman in the world, whose abduction by Paris sparked the Trojan War. The name entered English through the Latin Elena and Helena, and has been in widespread use since the medieval period, sustained by both classical and Christian (Saint Helena) associations.”

Andrew

“From the Greek Andreas, derived from aner/andros meaning "man" or "manly." It entered English via the Old French Andreu and Latin Andreas, and owes much of its lasting popularity to Saint Andrew, apostle of Christ and patron saint of Scotland, Russia, and Greece. The name has been in continuous English use since medieval times.”
